I was wondering what the reaction of some of his fans would be and just as I suspected, many are devastated. I wish I knew how old the posters of these entries were, but it’s painfully obvious that they are in a state of shock and disbelief!
Here are a few comments on the Claymates forum:
“This is a gut wrenching day for The ClayNation. Somebody wake me up, I hope its a dream.”
“please tell me I’m not the only one who is shocked beyond belief! I feel numb I’m so upset. This can’t be real!! How can you guys say this won’t change anything? This changes EVERYTHING. I don’t even know what to think right now”
“I wish him well and hope he gets some peace of mind now BUT I feel he lied to everyone-especially us fans. He should have just said so years ago. I feel like we were “used”. I still love to hear him sing but I also feel he has now become like a Michael Jackson and it’s a bit too weird! He isn’t just the plain ordinary person with the values he first stood for.-but it’s just my opinion.”
“One really sad thing for me that sums this up. THis morning at the breakfast table my 9 and 10 year olds were there and the radio was on and they came on with the headline “FOrmer American Idol…” and I knew what was coming and I ran to turn it off. I didn’t want my young children to hear that and ask questions about it. To me this is the saddest thing and the reason I won’t be able to hold him as my idol. I remember the day when I ran to turn it on and called all the family to watch with pride. It just seems so in your face now and I don’t want exposing my kids to this. ”
“I just feel rather silly now having spent the last 5 years drooling over and being fan girly for a singer I thought was straight and now finding out he is gay. It does change my perception of who he is and how I see him. We always called him our boyfriend and that won’t be happening anymore.”
I can’t wait to read his reaction to the pain he has caused. *sniffs*
