Gay Clay Confirms What We Already Knew

The biggest shocker is not that Clay Aiken is gay (we already knew that); the newsworthy note is that the pop, now Broadway, star has publicly come out amid the birth of his baby boy, Parker Foster Aiken. Congrats to Aiken on coming out and on his new family. By the way, his baby was conceived through in-vitro and the birth mother is his long-time friend and producer Jaymes Foster. Here's more on Aiken's coming out and his family.

Flashback:
Remember back in 2006 when an ex-Army ranger told the Enquirer that he had exchanged IM's with Aiken? And then Aiken got all belligerent on Diane Sawyer when she asked him about being gay. Here's a recap of the events. At the time I asked if Aiken's sexual identity was anybody's business. A few strong opinions came out of that discussion (no pun intended). Lets keep the discussion going. What are you thoughts on Clay Aiken's public announcement and his new baby?
