He looked right at me. Then, without a word, he looked at another reporter and called on him.

It would have been as easy to have said (with a big toothy grin)"No, I am not, and thank you for asking...Next question"

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gay:
a : happily excited : MERRY b : keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits

He probably is the above.

Queer:
a : differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal b (1) : ECCENTRIC, UNCONVENTIONAL

Who Knows....

There's another thread today about a seminarian that says Jesus was gay.

The problem is the gay agenda says they're "normal." But then they have to go around making everyhing else gay (Clay, Jesus, Tinky Winky, the color purple, the rainbow...) so that they can "fit in"...

Not necessarily a Clay Aiken "fan", I do admire the kid's voice (I allowed my daughter to try and vote for him for two hours without getting through...) he seems to have a wonderful, down-home personality and he IS from NC. I can also see where he could be annoyingly talkative at times.

But it was interesting this morning when I stopped by the breakfast carry-out joint this morning and he was being interviewed on TV by, of all people, Jeff Gordon. Hmmmm.......

I figured I could write something funny for Advocate.com about fashion (season 1 finalist Christina Christian carried a small dog with her down the red carpet) or bad singing (did you hear season 2 finalist Rickey Smith butcher Earth, Wind & Fire during the medley? Ouch) or Paula Abdul (guess what, Miss Thing, I grew up wanting to be a critic)....

The fluttering eyelids; the high-pitched chuckle; the angry-diva faces pulled whenever Simon Cowell criticized him; the hammy, Sam Harris-meets-Mandy Patinkin show-tune vocalizing—just about everything Clay does reads as gay.


Before I read this article, I thought being gay meant having love affairs with men. Apparently, now it also means having reckless dalliances with parenthetical statements and hyphenation.

I haven't ever seen the show, but I'll tell you he's not gay, and I'll tell you why - because the Advocate HATES him.

The Advocate's description of Clay is filled with bile, not admiration; if they weren't gay themselves, they could be accused of hate speech:

"Here's a performer, we thought, who can’t open his mouth without littering the Idol stage with hairpins. The fluttering eyelids; the high-pitched chuckle; the angry-diva faces pulled whenever Simon Cowell criticized him; the hammy, Sam Harris-meets-Mandy Patinkin show-tune vocalizing - just about everything Clay does reads as gay."

The stereotypical gay-bashing imagery is particularly pointed; no cliche is left unwritten. Had those at the Advocate thought Clay was truly gay, they would have written an article that was "sensitive", or at least flattering. Instead, they did their usual hate-filled "outing" hatchet job the Advocate reserves for men that they wish to destroy. Clay's professed Christianity may be the reason.

The Advocate does not Advocate for all gays, after all, but only for liberal gays who vote and speak as the Advocate and gay establishment tells them. A quiet, unsure, or conservative gay will be torn apart first not by his fans, his family, or his constituency, but by the "Advocate" themselves.

Espouse another view on "gay marriage" while professing to be gay? The Advocate will vilify you to the community. Speak out against pedophiles in the community? The Advocate will smear you as one. Struggle with your own homosexual feelings or experiences in private? The Advocate will post your name for your friends, family, fans, or followers to read on every street corner. The message to gays is loud and clear: do as the "Gay Establishment" tells you, or you will be publicly outed in a way that even the most vehement religious fundamentalist would condemn.

If you are a Christian who struggles with homosexuality, the message is especially blunt; out yourself, and give in, or we will tear you apart in public.

The Advocate advocates nothing but their own political agenda, and those who do not bow to it - gay or heterosexual - will be destroyed.

Whether or not "Clay is gay", one thing is for certain - the Advocate hates him, and hate is not a family value, is it, boys?

This being the Advocate, where is the description of Clay's "basket"?

Can't people's public or private sexual orientation be left ofr themselves to decide? Is that too much to ask?

And my boyfriend also points out that there’s a definite subset of closeted Christian males in their 20s (having been one himself) who have so successfully repressed their sexuality that they don’t even know that they’re really gay.

All roads lead to gaydom for these people. I suppose if he had punched the guy in the snot-locker it would have been definite proof.

My boyfriend talks about Aiken’s goal to become a special-needs teacher as one that screams out as a career track often pursued by gay men.

Good grief. As if our children didn't have enough problems!

Should we even venture a guess how you "stumbled" upon this article in an openly Homosexual publication?

...CLAY just admitted on the...

..'LIVE with REGIS and KATHY'.. TV Show...

...that he did put 2 -&- 2 together last week when he saw a shortened name on the 'AMERICAN IDOL' Host's Winner Card during the Commercial Break back stage just before the TV Announcement.

...CLAY also said that the reason he was looking directly at his competitor during the Announcement of the Winner was so that he could be the first to see his reaction at being named the Winner.

HARD NEWS!!!!
