Clay Aiken: ‘Yes, I’m Gay.’ World: ‘Yes, We Knew’

Joining Lindsay Lohan in declaring today a holiday for finally confirming open, same-sex secrets, Clay Aiken has come out of the closet. In an edition of People magazine to be published tomorrow, Aiken poses with his newborn son Parker and confirms the rumours that have dogged the singer since he belted out his first glory note on American Idol.

The content of the article has not yet been released, but some hints can be gleaned about his long-anticipated confession from the Aiken quote teased on the cover: “I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things.” Kudos, Clay! Now where’s your donation? [HuffPo]
