Congratulations to Clay Aiken for confirming what the rest of us already knew. Living with integrity is really wicked cool – We’re proud to have you join the rest of the OUT world! As more of us come out, we’re sure to acquire our God-given rights.
See? Closets just aren’t cool.

Like most of my homo homies
, I never had a moment's doubt. I really do not like to encourage American Idol AT ALL, and I've never really found time to deal with such a public closet case as our Mr. Aiken. Before now, every time I saw him I thought, "Why are you–an ostensibly public figure–working so hard to hide yourself?" I guess everyone has their own timeline & their own voyage to make in their lives, but every time I saw him, I thought about my own life in hiding, so it was kinda difficult to watch. I do feel the need, however, to give Clay his due: he was EXACTLY right when he said, "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things." So true.
Welcome to the truth, Mr. Aiken. Life is never easy, but it's infinitely more bearable when you don't have to pretend to be something & someone you're not.
