[ConservativeStatement]

I remember Clay Kirby and Clay Carroll from their days with the Reds in the 1970s. I don't know this Clay, however.

[dfwgator]

Acceptance? They have that now, and it’s not enough....they want to be CELEBRATED.

[Flycatcher]

Clay Aiken weighing in?

I can finally sleep now.

[prisoner6]

What. A. Boob.

[tet68]

Clay Who???
Never heard of him.

[ifinnegan]

I remember how people didn’t accept the obviousness about Aiken during the Idol year he participated. Folks here at FR, for example, were in denial.

[Mechanicos]

They confuse tolerance with acceptance.

[Baum Threat]

And if Clay Aiken were a conservative this headline would read “Aiken compares gays to disabled kids!!”

[nesnah]

My sons went to YMCA camp a few summers here in NC; day camp. Clay was one of the counselors. They never had him as theirs, but it was universally known that Clay was a complete ass-hat of a counselor and was not liked by anybody.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The entire homosexual movement is built on a false premise.

Nobody is stopping them from doing what they do. Just don't equate said behavior with those who hold traditional beliefs and force us to accept it.

[darkwing104]

Who cares?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Gee I dont remember Clay Aiken or anyone else on the left make a big deal out of Martin Bashir saying that someone should take a dump in Sarah Palin’s mouth..I think the homos need to go on twitter and look up REAL hate..just type in Sarah Palin’s name in the search bar..that’s REAL hate

[Tax-chick]

Oh, thank heaven. This situation really needed Clay Aiken’s input, bless his heart.

[Gene Eric]

>> Aiken did, however, say that society has made progress in its acceptance of gays

It’s about “acceptance” now.

[StonyBurk]

I am sorry but whenever anyone confuses race/skin color—with sexual orientation it proves they are too ignorant to discuss anything reasonably.One of the few things Colin Powell has said I still agree with is what he put in Crisis about comparing skin color to sexual orientation.It is indeed a convenient but invalid argument. Modern Science has NEVER proven the Holy Writ:to be in error. When we pretend the Bible errs—it is only our own ignorance being made manifest. I stand by what the bible says about sex—and marriage -and who will or will NOT enter the Kingdom of God.

“And I would ask them … if the person had said something about interracial marriage, or said that we should put all children with disabilities in institutions, would we still say, ‘Well, that’s free speech, we’re okay with that opinion?’ And I think the answer is no.”

But he was talking about homosexuals, so it's okay.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

FUCA!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Well, Clay, why don’t you try a vagina?

[Dr. Thorne]

Mixed-race marriage couples aren’t trying to screw little boys.

[arthurus]

Aiken is homosexual, yes?
