Clay Aiken finally admitted to People magazine that he's gay, confirming what the rest of the world has known for years. "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things," Clay says on the cover of the mag's latest issue, which features the American Idol alum with his tiny new baby.

Some of us are more excited about this development than others, as evidenced by Mollygood's editor Cord Jefferson, who jovially announced via Gchat: "clay aiken's out!!!! post IT POST IT"

Queerty has more details, complete with the glorious cover, here.

I guess I don't understand why Cord is so excited about this news. I must be missing something because I thought it was already pretty common knowledge. Maybe to see all the Claymates have breakdowns?

Hahahaha, I think the reaction was awesome. I was just last weekend explaining/defending Clay's "asexual" claims while talking with the bf. Finally, someone making me look stupid in front of the bf. That never happens.

No. 11 Shutup!! says:

So what… we are way to involved in these peoples lives. He is a good singer… does it really matter if he is gay or not? So he did not want anyone to know.. or at least confirm it. He seems like a great guy. So sad that we still in 2008 have this hang up on outing people.

john - LOL…she's such an idiot. Anyhoo…Good for Clay! He's a good guy and I'm sure a great weight has been lifted from his shoulders. More importantly, maybe some of his more conservative fans will think differently of gay people now. I think that's why Cord might be a little excited.

i love that cord was so excited about it.

ha!

i done knew this fool was gay from the first moment i seent him on AI:2 auditions.

that's right bitchez. i watched that whole season.

and really, why must people "defend" his gayness. "he seems like such a good person and he's a great singer."

yes, but he's THE GAY! which we all know means he cannot be a good person or a good singer.

"i saw him live." hilarious. what on earth does that have to do anything? oh i get it- because everyone knows that gays are the undead! their insides are on the outside! they have red beady eyes! that shoot lasers!

LASER GAYS!

RUN FOR THE HILLS!

OK.

I have to say this.

You have no idea how I've held back, trying to be considerate and open-minded. But this has baffled me too hard for too long. Yes I'm baffled, I'm baffled hard. Listen up.

IF: You are not interested in sex with women.
AND: You want a child.
AND: You feel financially, emotionally, and mentally prepared to raise a child with a woman you do not desire sexually.
AND: In vitro is hella overpriced and complicated.
AND: You are Clay Aiken.

THEN: GET OVER IT AND HAVE THE SEX WITH THE LADY. FIND A FREAKING WAY. HAVE THE SEX.

I thank you.
And now, I must go weep for this child.

You people are hilarious. I am NOT supposed to be laughing like this at work!

STM, I can't believe you said "THE GAY". My husband and a few of our friends are always talking about someone or something being "the gays". One day our friend Josh was messaged by this Arabic dude who was trying to talk to him over yahoo chat, and Josh was like "what are you trying to say?". So, the Arab comes back with "you are the gays". LOL

no. 33, i can't find that symbol on my keyboard, but, i always say "the gay!" are we married?

also, has anyone seen three to tango? i don't know why i love that movie as much as i do… with oliver platt and matthew perry and dylan mcdermott (yum)…?

at one point dylan mcdermott's character says to matthew perry's character (after "catching" perry with neve campbell who is dylan's mistress): "if you weren't gay, i'd be concerned."

and matthew perry, in perfect matthew perry/chandler form says: "Gay?! I'm not gay! I didn't… gay!"

"I didn't gay." Is the phrase that pays, people.

And then when perry goes running screaming to oliver platt… who actually IS gay in the movie, platt says to him "You made your big gay bed and now you must slumber gayly in it."

HA! ok, no one loves this movie as much as i do. i've seen it too many times.
