Clay Aiken. GAY?!?!?!?!? plus L. Lohan

[Breegy]

I'm going to start a thread called: "Lindsay Lohan. GAY?!?!?!?"

Ha! They did coordinate that awfully well...

Seriously, though, apparently People Magazine is intent on cornering the "coming out cover"...first Lance Bass, then Neil Patrick Harris, now Clay...it's amusing.

They set examples for those that look up to them, and then get disappointed when they make announcements like this. His, makes me loose all interest in his music. Nuff said.

I agree with you, although for entirely different reasons.

By staying in the closet for so long, even though everyone knew he was gay, he diminished what it is to be gay. He viewed it as something shameful and something he would like to cover up like a horrible disease. Imagine the message that sent to his fans (who let's face it, already need help if they are his fans ), that it's appropriate to be ashamed of who you are.

As for you, if you think for some reason that his music is going to change suddenly because now you know something about him that you didn't before (although really, how could you not know????), then that is saddening.

Who cares if he's gay? The real questions are... is he a PC? Is he not a human thinking or a human doing, but just a human being?

ROFL.

As for those who say "why should we care about this?" I mostly agree, but I think it's important to note that in this case it is a vindication of the media which has said this for so long, and it serves as an important lesson for us all. The fact that it took so long for him to admit the truth shows how backwards our society still is (not to turn this into PRSI or anything, so I'll stop now).

First of all, the word is "lose", not "loose".

Second of all, you really MUST question what you found interesting in his music before his admission. He was just as gay then as he is now, and that was as reflected in what you enjoyed then as it is now.

My previous interest, was at best, minimal.

News is a direct derivative from the word 'new'!

Agree.

how does it matter if he's a gay or a lesbian.... why should his sexuality mater to you?

He being gay. Doesn't matter.

Now he being lesbian is most interesting.

The real questions are... is he a PC?

Good question.

Which still doesn't address why you think this story changes any interest, even if minimal, in his music.

Didn't see that one coming.

Who gives a flying f*ck about any of this again?

Who gives a flying f*ck about any of this again?

I certainly don't. But some people do care... perhaps because they live vicariously through others. And if the values don't match, boom... How did this happen?

Let's move along folks, nothing to see here.

Gotta love how many people saw the title of this thread, came in here, not only posted once that they didn't care, but hung around to keep quoting other posters who didn't care. When I don't care about the topic of a thread, I just ignore it... but that's just me.

I admit to being a little more upset to discover that Perry was not banging Della.

Clay who??
