1) It's none of my business. Clay's recording career (emphasize recording) is in limbo pending the release of a 2nd non-seasonal album by him. If and when one is released, I'll assess its merits based on the music, not who he may sleep with.
2) I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt until and unless they do something to make me change my mind. Clay has said he is not gay. I'll take his word for it until and unless Clay, himself, indicates otherwise. The creep who sold his story to The Enquirer is hardly a reliable source, in my opinion.
3) Even if Clay were to out himself, see #1 above. To me it's about the music and the ability of the performer to entertain me. As long a celebrity doesn't use their fame to disparage this country, and as long as they don't try to shove their perversions in my face, I'm happy.
I agree with everything you said in that post.
Signed,
A Proud Claymate
