Clay Aiken comes out as gay (Interview Part 1/2)

[claysongs1]

So very articulate Clay and refusing to drawn by this interviewer - she, I suppose is doing her job - but, what a horrible job she's doing !!!!!

[The456Doggy]

ive been listening to his music for a while and hearing this shocked me but you are who you are you know. ppl dont change who they are if they love who they are!!!! So ppl who listened to his music and now wont bcuz he says he is gay FUCK OFF!!!!!!

[shelbielynnVEVO]

I love his accent!

[SiljeKristin94]

the interviewer...is stupid.. Clay is just himself! shut up woman and make him a damn sandwich... :P

go Clay <3

[AllisonD28]

I'm so proud of Clay Aiken. I'm a big fan of his. Keep up the great work. I'm behind you 100%

[KingDcome11]

so what the fuck will you tell your kid when he grows up you dumbass? that you are gay ? and the kid did not choose his gay father? would kids embarrass the shit out of him? just so that he can commit suicide? if you don't want to be a man ..FINE but fuck off KIDS you stupid fuck

[shado474]

I like how she tries so much to make this interview dramatic but he's laughing half of the time lol

[pummeled]

Why is she so EMO?!?! 

[12guitarrocks]

To be completely honest...I am not a fan of the interviewer.

[Aleksei5055]

I like how Clay is just so happy and bubbly and Diane Sawyer has this SUPER melancholoy disposition and is SO fishing for hurt feelings or anything like that but Clay just shines haha.. he is like, yea , no , it was no big deal..

[philipsmog]

Diane Sawyer is a piece of shit

[OutsidersFreak101]

Okay I'm sick and tired of people saying what he did was immoral and unreligious and all that. Yes, Christianity teaches that you shouldn't be homosexual, but that doesn't make someone who is into a bad person. Think of it this way, I'm Catholic and one of my best friends is Jewish and another is Hindu. We all have different beliefs and don't agree with what the others believe in. But none of us are bad people. And anyway, doesn't God love everyone, no matter what?

[Lexiwhitesiderox]

@OutsidersFreak101 you rock so hard man

[365to173repubsPWNED]

He's not gay...he's so butch

[live4loveish]

@365to173repubsPWNED stfu

[365to173repubsPWNED]

@live4loveish you stfu

[live4loveish]

@live4loveish r u gay

[ldrocks2011]

wow, he's an insult to any gay person.

years of denial because he didn't have the balls to tell (even though it's so obvious) and now playing mr. i-got-it-all-figured-out....

[Bittersweet123]

lol no1 I know was surprised that he was gay, he's pretty obvious...

[jaggass]

i like his accent.

[namemydoglola]

OMG!!! NO WAY!!! HE'S GAY!?!

[tadge72]

@namemydoglola haha. was there ever any doubt?

[cookiesonsteve]

whatsherface gave the most depressing interview.. what a bitch

[Jefgg]

Clay AIken is a good singer and seems like a nice guy. But his "revelation" of being gay came as a surprise to no one. I filed it under the category of "no shit Sherlock". Is Aiken's next shocking revelation going to be that fire is hot?

[kingjonnyboy117]

Hats off to Clay and everyone else with the courage to stand up and admit to the world who they truly are. To everyone still struggling and hiding in the closet, I want to give you a hug and tell you that it's going to be ok. The world is getting better slowly. Be proud of yourself and who you are, if someone doesn't like it then that is their problem. Don't let others judge you and scare you into hiding and not being happy. Be true to who you are, love yourself as you are and others will too.

[jerry18291]

@kingjonnyboy117 and a person who comes out and says they are a born again christian they are considered a heratic and laughed at and mocked this generation has become so imoral its rediculous

[kingjonnyboy117]

@jerry18291 So you would prefer that the new generation follow the bible and stone women and disobedient children? Do not compare the possible ridicule and suffering of homosexuals to that of people who chose faith over science. It is people like you and your religion who make it so hard for homosexual to be themselves. Your religion which is so "moral" hates homosexuals, and would see them persecuted.

[BrittyBrit1]

Stop worrying about his life and taking time out of ur day to judge him and focus on ur life cuz that's exactly what he's doing he's not worrying about u or ur opinion he's worrying about his son he's gay and so are a lot of other people

[ArBiTeR0000Tactical]

His real name is Gay Achen

[marikitna]

:O This is extremely shocking!!!!! 

[inturn23]

@marikitna ugh, your kidding right? You're going to tell me that his body language and the way he talks never made you think for a minute?

[marikitna]

@inturn23 its called sarcasm.... but to be honest.... him coming out just made him cuter... more respect for him...

[inturn23]

@marikitna oh, lol, I didn't detect the sarcasm there. Ah I get it now. LMAO Yeah, true, very cute either way.

[jigglymig]

i knew he was gay from his first performance, CALLED IT!!

[Whatsthequestionto42]

@jigglymig duh

[Thewaiter525600]

Great job! Now it's David Archuleta's turn.

[clayakienrocks]

wow

[BigBeautyHoles]

@OneWhoLovesRamen did you know that clay aiken is the mother of the baby? THE BIOLOGICAL MOTHER! HE IS A QUEER ASS POOPSTAIN!

[konatown5]

was this such a big shock?

[BigBeautyHoles]

clay aiken is a faggot homosexual who eats his own poop!

[KristaaLovesToSing96]

@Carlosthegreatking

God does love gay people.

He doesn't love their ways, but he loves everyone.

I dont believe being gay is right, but it's their decision and their choices.

[Whatsthequestionto42]

@KristaaLovesToSing96 keep your opinion in the closet

[KristaaLovesToSing96]

@Whatsthequestionto42 i have the God given freedom to express my opinions. You have no right telling me not to.

[Whatsthequestionto42]

@KristaaLovesToSing96 I apologize! I meant it as a mixture of a joke and a reprimand. Obviously i still need to learn to be as accepting of other peoples opinions as I demand of them. I apologize again, I thought it was witty and did not think how it would be received by you.

[gabriellakarina]

that woman is way too obvious!!! i wonder why she chooses to interview clay....

[12thensley]

hes so bubbly i love it

[D1G1TALhikari]

this interview woman is so callous - her tone is so dark and cold... clay is being so open and happy - GET A MORE ACCEPTING INTERVIEWER

she obviously has strong feelings against gays. you can totally tell by this interview

[sevenisland]

I would be sad to be gay and be living in the US.  It still seems to be such a big deal and we are now what ! in 2010. If people would simply their lives and stop worrying such much about others. Clay is a celebrity with a great voice and a happy father.

[shorrtness323]

yo fuckin little brother dont care bekuz u fkn making money u dumb ASS lol

[BriannaNoob]

@shorrtness323 , hey moron... many people are guided by love and not money. Stop projecting your own greed onto others.

[shorrtness323]

did u notice why he was nervous to tell him ?

cuhz he said the way he acted and the people around him are hardcore

somebody like that gonna be like fk no if sombody being gay

and moron ? u talk shyt over net but u ant trynnna catch fade though fk all this internet shit

[anabalila]

i just HATE that woman she so mean!!god i hate her!go clay!!!

[grai]

singing a lullaby.....

oookkkaaaaayyyy....

[MamaNissy]

He's responding so well to the questions and making the interview light hearted but she doesn't seem to want that... she wants him to feel awkward about himself.. Diane, that's not the Clay we know and love.

[bioticnabiotic]

@MamaNissy I don't necessarily love him, but I did pull for him during the show. I found this by accident (Okay 2 b gay video), and thought it was good that he finally came out, and even more so that he had a baby :)

It disappoints me the way that old coot's acting :P lol

[MamaNissy]

She's trying to get higher ratings for her show by trying to make Clay break down. But Clay knows why he's there.... She needs to be trained on how to conduct good interviews... like Katie Couric

[jay2692]

i dont like clay i dont know wath it is he says he never cared wath ppl think but yet he was closet all these years and know that hes out hes controdicting every thing he said before he came out i have no clue on who clay is i really could care less with wath he does hes no longer relevant  its all about adam lambert know cuz adam is really real hes not fake he is who he is and hes not affraid of flaunting it

[MamaNissy]

indeed... and you accidentally found yourself on this site.... why not watch videos about people you actually know and leave Clay alone.

[jay2692]

no i do like clay but i dont know why i dont like him i really dont know cuz he really hasnt done any thing bad he seems like a good guy but i dont know why i just donnt like him i guess cuz i really didnt know shit about idol i mean the first time i watch idol was jordan sparks season son i really didnt know much about him but i guess it has to do with him dissing adam lambert or sumthing xcuz besides that he hasnt done anything bad

[MamaNissy]

Then in that case do not post negative things about Clay. He has billions of fans around the world for a reason. He is an extremely nice person and he cares about children and other people in the world.

Other than that, he is a terrific musician and entertainer. He has done better than almost all other American Idol contestants.

[lgbtTV3]

@jay2692 wrote

"i guess it has to do with him dissing adam lambert"

What did Clay say about Adam?

Your post is interesting because your dislike of Clay clearly has nothing to do with them being gay. You seem to like Adam, who is also gay. And you're honest enough to admit that you don't know why you don't like Clay. Adam and Clay are so different. Clay is kinda conservative and stays in the background while Adam loves the limelight. Anyway, I found your comment fascinating!

[jay2692]

he said that he heard adam lambert performing ring of fire on idol and he wrote on his blog that he watched his performance and he said it made his ears bleed but his face makes me bleed

[leandracleo72]

redbeardNC . . you cracked me up, im with you! love your comments ;-)

[smileyworld101]

i hat e lesbians i hate gays i hate bisexuals if ur not straight stay away fear the queer and gay is not the way

[RedbeardNC]

Wow, you seem like a really fun person.

[smileyworld101]

i am a fun person people always tell me how hilarious i am but i just cant stand gay people and its ok that i think that way because well you know straight is really the way its supposed to be i dont care whenpeople are straight and think nothings wrong with people gay people and i dont there wrong for thinking that so dont send me some of that smart ellic crap i got better thing s to worry about

[RedbeardNC]

Thanks so much for explaining.  Otherwise, it would have been totally unclear.

[chibiwolf1005]

Closets are for clothes.

[Dreamflower6]

His baby is SO cute!!!

[serclfs]

The host comes off as a bitch to me...

[radioxxflyer]

she looks like a cow does she not

[toneshun]

a great singer with a great public personality; well spoken, Clay!

[blonde198821]

Gay pride ^_^ People shouldn't be so judgemental. People like that shouldn't be in this world. Having your opinion that's fine, but don't try and control the gay, lesbian and bisexuals. It's not right, tey aren't any diffrent. Love shouldn't be about gender!

[8dahar1]

This was so surprising. More surprising than Lance Bass coming out as gay. I would only be more surprised if my dad came out as gay.

[JoeyBoya]

Best of luck love ya Clay!

[goldenthoth]

so he's gay; what a surprise... NOT!!! but how come they never mentioned how his latest album flop?!

[purememory]

wow. he talks so well.. must have prepared quite abit. so sad that he's gay :(

[filipinoboy147]

hes gonna raise his son to b gay

give the son to another parent!!!!

[lgbtTV3]

filipinoboy147,

Do some research, moron. Studies consistently show that gay parents do not result in a higher rate of gy children. I dare you to show me peer-reiewed studies saying otherwise.

The American Pediatric Assoc, American Medical Assoc, and every other non-religious relevant group I know of support gay parenthood. Should we trust experts like them or an ignoramus like you?

THINK before you type.

[filipinoboy147]

IgbtTV3

i dont give a crap on research

fuckin feedom of speech mother fucker so shut the fuck up bitch

[tellmewhatsahappenin]

hmm.. you argue that everyone has freedom of speech, and then you tell someone to "shut the fuck up, bitch." All right...

[BriannaNoob]

filipinoboy writes, "hes gonna raise his son to b gay" Well, since Clay majored inn education, I bet he'll raise his son to be educated too. WHich is more than I can say for your parents.. Learn your facts, idiot.

[tremone21]

SO, HE LIKES DICK! YOUR MAMA DOES, TOO!

[claymate92]

He's such a sweet guy, he loves his son so much, singing to him and all, I wonder why people care so much about his sexuality when they should pay more attention to his music & stuff

[cutemikey]

jablwez, why does it matter so much to you that Clay is gay? Could it be that you're hot for him? Are your panties around your knees as you watch this? Well, make sure you wipe the white goo off your keyboard after you finish because it can electrocute you... And don't moan so much, you might wake up mommy and daddy.

[tremone21]

damn, he got you! damn, are you gonna take that?

[DaBearsRockMySox]

your ignorant.

[jablez69]

i dont have a problem with gay guys except these types

[lgbtTV3]

jablez69 wrote "clays a faggot...fuck him...Prissy cocksucking clay"

Cutemikey was right. You lust gay Clay.

Hetero men were put in 2 groups: homophobic and not. Both saw gay, lesbian and hetero porn. Penile size was monitored. Both groups reacted to lesbian and hetero porn, BUT ONLY HOMOPHOBES REACTED TO THE GAY PORN. Latent homosexuality can cause strong homophobia.

Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA. Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal? J Abnorm Psychol. 1996 Aug;105(3):440-5

[BriannaNoob]

jablez69,

At first, your comments offended me but now I just pity you. It's clear that you're lacking something that can only be satisfied by putting down others. I've seen it in bullies who deep inside are hurting and lonely. Based on your absence of YouTube subscribers, I can see why.. I bet you have no friends in real life too.

Please please get some therapy to deal with your psychosexual issues. You'll be happier and may finally know how it feels to have friends. I'll pray for you.

[TrynaGetBacToMyLuv]

@lgbtTV3 hahahah. That was funny. Bt all homophobs are not aroused.

[betterinformed]

@lgbtTV3 yes you're right.clay aiken is "prissy" I CAN TELL HE'S GAY.also,i'd get a sick feeling if i ever considered coming on to him(i'm a female).if you want to know if a male is gay or not (& you're a female) imagine coming on to him.if you get a sick/uncomfortable feeling about it.he's gay.

[lgbtTV3]

jablez69, your inability to construct an English sentence or cogent argument confirms studies showing that homophobes tend to be less educated.

Here's a suggestion: You don't like Clay's music or American Idol? Then don't listen or watch. Simple, right?  Or is the concept too taxing on your brain?

Get an education and think before you post.

[ProudHappyDaddy]

Jablez, I'm not gay but I am educated and fair minded. And you're clearly neither. You;re an idiot. So go troll somewhere else where people are interested in your moronic comments. Get a life and some help.

[boybandsareboss]

wow, he is a really wonderful person. you rock Clay! <3

[KissHolic]

clay is awesome!!!!

[valerieis49]

I would just admit it and not go into detail like Susie Orman did. Gay is often inborn and there is nothing wrong with it. Christian extreamist are as rediculous as Muslim extreamist. The Bible has all kinds of rediculous things in it and its just not even common sense to be extreame.

[Vegheadsrock]

LOOSER.

[BriannaNoob]

Try going to the 99 cent store and change your tampon, you disgusting spam whore. I've deleted your spam within a minute and reported you to YouTube.

And learn to use toilet tissue before pulling up your panties. You look like you sat on a bag of Hershey Kisses™

[RationalSaneThinker]

Have you argued with your parents, eaten shrimp or worn mixed fibers? Well, since you want to follow biblical laws, go hang yourself.

"everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death" - Leviticus 20:9

"Do not wear material woven of two kinds of material." - Leviticus 19:19

"Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; that shall be an abomination to you." - Leviticus 11:12

[RationalSaneThinker]

I used to have a complete list of contradictions to reality and science but one of the most messed up has to do with Sodom & Gomorrah.

God approved of Lot sacrificing his teen virgin daughters to be raped in order to save some angels (Gen 19:5, 19:8). Since the angels were divine, why do they need Lot to do something so atrocious? Should we all do the same with our 14 y/o daughters?

[RationalSaneThinker]

You want to follow scripture?

So I may possess slaves from neighboring nations? - Leviticus 25:44

So I may sell my daughter into slavery? - Exodus 21:7

Should I kill those who work on the Sabbath? - Exodus 35:2

How about men who cut their hair near their temples? - Leviticus 19:27

Read the bible and THINK about it.

[RationalSaneThinker]

There is no condemnation of slavery in the Old or New Testament, by Jesus or anyone else. The bible lets you own slaves from other countries: "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you, from them you may buy slaves" (Leviticus (25:44) In other words, we should judge and enslave people based on race.

"You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life" (Leviticus 25:45). Furthermore, there is no chance for emancipation.

[DaBearsRockMySox]

dude people can be religious without being extreme like that lol.

[cutemikey]

fallingup316

dude, you have 18 THUMBS DOWN. I just added number 19. Do you think anyone will get to read your trash now???? Dude, you wasted your time ... not to mention your few remaining brain cells.

I know that it's lonely having ZERO subscribers and no one listening to your drivel, but seriously... Maybe you should think before you go where you're not wanted.

[cutemikey]

fallingup316

> JESUS is solid concrete

That's because you're too cheap to pay for a marble statue. LOSER.

[RationalSaneThinker]

I essentially agree with you but sadly, many people are less open-minded -- they DO care. Especially in the South, where he continues to live and raise his son. There live the bigots who threatened Dolly Parton's life, for example, when she sang "Movin' On," from TransAmerica, about a transsexual. Although nominated for an Oscar, she no longer dares sing it in concerts. Aiken had to consider the effect on his family, including a military brother. To his credit, he never denied it.

[Douxistorlive]

He speaks with the same beauty and eloquence with which he sings.  Many congrats on your successes and the birth of your son, Clay!
