Clay Aiken gay cumrag story upsets John Paulus

aiken Last week I told you a story about a sleazebag opportunist named John who supposedly hooked up with Clay Aiken online and stole the poor boys cumrag, preserving it in a ziploc baggie for future testing. And then I get the following letter from a man named John Paulus: "I must take issue with you referring to me as a 'sleazebag opportunist'. You would be happily surprised to find that I am an extremely kind, honest, and giving person. Your description of me could more inaccurate. Perhaps if the only facts I had were those extracted from online articles, I might very well feel the same way."

He continues, "While I will not confirm the context of the article you referred to, I do want you to know that I am not an opportunist. I would never 'snag' a cum rag and place it in a zip lock bag with the intent of using it to my favor."

"I wish I could elaborate on this whole mess, but I can't. It's not because I am being prevented from doing so, but it's because of who I am protecting. Often times tabloids leak false information with the intent of forcing one of the involved parties to come forward and correct their claims."

"When articles like yours speak so negatively of me without knowing what occurred or all the facts I have to wonder if this isn't what the tabloids machination is; to coax me to come forward and clear myself, thereby, outing someone else."

"I can't prevent from writing your opinion, but I wanted to convey my thoughts to you. I appreciate you taking the opportunity to read this and I wish you much success with your website.

Best Wishes

John Paulus

What's funny about all of this is that never in the previous mentioned Queer Day article or its source did we even have an identity for the man in question. Consequently, it's hard to imagine someone being that upset about it. We didn't even know who we were talking about, right? But now, apparently we do and John Paulus is allegedly the sleazebag opportunist himself.

Regardless of how nice and kind and thoughtful Paulus may be in the rest of his life and his world, I still think, given only the information that we have here on hand, the deliberately going out of your way to hook up with Clay Aiken and tirelessly document the chain of events right down to DNA, and then to take it to the tabloids on your own volition, if sleazebag opportunist doesn't fit, what praytell exactly does?

Comments

Do you have an email address or POB for Mr. Paulus? I have some questions for this nice,kind thoughtful man. (ha ha ha)

Does anyone really care what or who Clay Aiken is doing in his spare time?

Best regards,

I hope all this scandal helps to sell Clay's albums, cause I'm sure Clay's just a victim of his own naiveness and ignorance.

That said, everyone loves a catfight. So who will win?

If Clay does sue John, the cumrag WILL go into evidence in court, and that certainly wont be something Mr. Aiken would want if he wants to be coy about his true sexuality.

But seriously, speaking as someon who is just as flaming as Clay Aiken is, you would appear pretty foolish.

Why do we care what or who Clay Aiken is or does in his spare time? Because what he does and how the world reacts to it affects us all. For Clay to feel pressure to remain closeted is just a painful reminder of how much the world has to go in order to accept male singers who are comforatable expressing their love for another man publicly. How can someone sing love songs and not share the nature of the object of their desire?

Thats why he's busy drinking egg nog with Bary Manilow and singing Christmas carols, cause the young man is still green when it comes to love.

I think the person who told the story, passed the story on is just as much a sleezball as the person claiming the story. To deliberately try and destroy a young persons career is down right WRONG. I dont know if you believe in God or not but for your sake I hope there is not one because for this you will surely rot in hell.

Posted by N Straughan? on January 24, 2006 2:10 PM

 

You're wrong to call him a sleazebag! SCUM-bag would be more appropriate!

Posted by LADY BUNNY? on January 24, 2006 11:54 PM

 

The cumrag might contain evidence that they had sex, but it doesn't prove that Clay Aiken is gay.

If the word is credibly spread that he has sex with men, Aiken will marry a woman like every other gay man in show business. It is such a sacred institution, isn't it??

I am happy that he got laid. I hope that rag was soaked.

Posted by Patrick? on January 25, 2006 3:22 AM

 

I thought Clay had a meaningful relationship with John Dahlstrom, his make-up man/hair stylist/dancer top. So is that off?

Posted by ProfessorVP? on January 25, 2006 6:33 AM

 

I don't know whether Clay Aiken is gay or not...and I don't care. But I do know the type of man and human being he is and he would not be in a sleazy hotel, having unprotected sex with someone of this caliber.
Stop giving this guy the benifit of the doubt and look at the story for what it is....wishful thinking?

Did anyone ask you for the cum rag. If they did, will we be able to find out if its Clays or not.

Posted by Renee? on January 26, 2006 6:26 PM

 

I think Clay's gay, but I don't believe for a minute he did what that guy claimed. Clay can't be that stupid. He can easily find some discreet guys in his circle - entertainment and/or personal ...

Posted by Meg Lee? on January 27, 2006 2:03 AM

 

Sorry but I have no sympathy for Clay. At least Ricky Martin just wouldn't comment.

But Clay went out of his way to say he wasn't gay...so he get's totally busted Bill Clinton style.


Good, he deserves it.

Posted by Toby? on January 27, 2006 2:31 PM

 

OK - Aiken's Gay - we all know it. So here's the opportunity for the Claymates to rally around him in support and show the world that an entertainer's sexuality is nobody's business but their own, thus making it easier in the future for up and coming (Excuse that please) performers to be honest about themselves from the get-go. That said, Aiken has a well publicized
reputation for being an outright Diva-bitch when not on stage. Nasty not only to staffers, but occassionally to fans as well. Perhaps this embarrassing skip down tabloid lane is due to some well earned bad Karma and the so-called "sleazebag" is merely fate's tool in seeing that Aiken gets a little of what's coming to him.

Posted by JCW? on January 27, 2006 2:57 PM

 

Does anyone really care about Gay Atkins or some nobody like John "Pompous Ass" Paulus?
Can't you find more interesting stories to report on?
Of course, Clay is gay are you people blind. Guess his latest CD is doing too well, hence the snooze news.
Personally I don’t give a rat’s ass about either one of them.

Posted by PhallusCranium? on January 27, 2006 8:00 PM

 

This cretin knows exactly what this story could do to Clay's career. A lot of his fans are still in total denial about his sexual orientation, despite ample evidence as to his preference. I mean John D was certainly no secret. The problem is, a lot of Clay's fans are middle-aged, conservative Christian women who might have a real hard time with Clay being gay. As long as they can continue to deny the obvious, they can support and love him vicariously. I don't know what they would do if he came out. Sad, but probably true. I know one thing. Anyone who writes anything even hinting about this in the mainstream media will be bombarded with angry emails from Claymates. They are certainly a strong and loyal bunch! Me? I'm not a Claymate, but enjoy his music and am very impressed by his charitable work. Clay is a good guy and doesn't deserve this... at all.

Posted by Donna? on January 27, 2006 10:23 PM

 

Clay Aiken?

Do we really care? I'm not sure if this counts as malicious or just factual, but
thinking about this story made me throw up
in my mouth a little bit.

I think people should ONLY pay attention to their own lives and avoid any interest in other peoples personal issues. Can't we see that gossip is really just attempting to make yourself feel superior? It's a an ill-conceived phychological technique of self-avoidance. Take your own inventory. If this occurred, the world would be a much better place. Denny K. Philadelphia

For your information, Clay is NOT Gay!!!!! First of all, he is not stupid enough to do something like go to a hotel and risk it being leaked out. He knows that would ruin his career. Another thing, I have met him at one of his concerts, and from a females point of view, who has several male friends who are gay, he is not in anyway, gay. So please, just because he does not have sex with a new girl in every town he goes to, or he takes drugs, don't assume he is gay. Like he says, he's saving himself for marriage. He has his morrals and I'm glad he's sticking to them.

Posted by wheelz002000? on January 29, 2006 12:20 AM

 

Base on how he talks, i think Clay is gay, but i may be wrong also, so i appologise if i hurt any of you(fans),, infact i am also Clays fan so just know that this is just my geussing,,

Posted by Just me? on January 29, 2006 11:55 AM

 

HELLO!!!!
Who in the world did not know that Clay was gay??(hey that rhymes) are you headless??? The sad part about the whole thing is that before this dirt came out he could have simply come out and had a legion of gay men support him for his bravery and honesty. Now if he comes out he should be scorned for being a fame glutton and leading all those fat, sorry, girls into believing they might have had a chance with him.
Clay, grow up and come out....you too miss Seacrest!!!!

Posted by Emma Frost? on January 29, 2006 9:02 PM

 

who cares? his singing is all the matters to me. i;ve seen him in 4 concerts & he is
just awesome. he can go through life anyway
he wants, its his own. john paulus is just
a disgraced green beret who wants to bring
someone else down with him. boo hoo! gossips are all the same - pay me some $$$$
& i'll tell you anything you want to hear.

clay i love your singing - you're my idol!

Posted by SUE Y.? on January 30, 2006 10:39 AM

 

Clay's a flamming FAG. Because he has thrown out his "saving myself until marriage" crap, he's going to be scrutinized even greater. There's nothing wrong with being gay and we should all accept him. What he does in the privacy of his own home or hotel room, is his own business. His aledged partner was an adult and we should be thankful Clay isn't going after young boys like alot of "others" have.

Posted by Former Claymate? on January 31, 2006 12:55 PM

 

What that guy is doing to Clay is so fucked up. I really hope it back-fires on him. That is just wrong.

Posted by StarrFucker? on January 31, 2006 1:24 PM

 

Outing is not pretty, outing is not fun, but it is REALITY.
The way I see it, if you are going to enter chat rooms and engage in "internet hook-ups" with strangers, one must be prepared for ALL the consequences.
Gay or not, if you have sex with men, you have sex with men, plain and simple. If he didn't want to be found out, then he'd hire a porn star or a rent guy like the throngs of others who must keep the "secret".

Posted by JeffMMM? on February 1, 2006 12:26 PM

 

Why do people care who is gay, straight or bi, etc? It's amazing! I could listen to Clay Aiken sing forever and what he does in the bedroom, or anywhere else, means nothing to me. It's the talent. I don't think personal matters are anyone else's business. I wish him a wonderful career as many in the business have had and if he's gay, that's fine. If he isn't, that's fine too. I don't think anyone should be embarassed to be straight or gay. You are what you are!

Posted by Dpj? on February 1, 2006 2:14 PM

 

Never ever kiss and tell!

Period, game over!

It Clay's business! Not the first to hook-up with the wrong guy!

who gives a f**K

Posted by Who? on February 1, 2006 2:39 PM

 

Clay,
It's okay if your gay and it's even okay if your not. Considering if you did try to hook up....The hooker on the other end is a needy childish little girl for allegly stealing a cum rag. Plus the fact he would sell the story to TRY to cause harm or whatever should be a good point in delivering a summon to file suite. Go ahead and match you earnings in American Idle. Love ya anyway. Keep entertaining buddie!

Posted by Bitchy Fag from Tampa? on February 1, 2006 8:29 PM

 

Clay is NOT gay. He has said so over & over again in his interviews. He just learned to tolerate the comments about him being one.

Also, Clay is not stupid to pull a stunt like that. Firstly why go to a cheap motel when the guy is worth millions and can afford a rendezvous at a luxurious hotel where it can be more descreet, if he would do so. Clay has very high moral values that he wont jeopardize that for few hours of passion with a complete stranger. And as far as waiting for marriage before sex, that is possilbe because Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey waited for 3 years and didnt do it till they were married. I dated a guy like that, too and he isnt gay, just highly principled. So, leave Clay alone.

Posted by Candy? on February 1, 2006 9:25 PM

 

Clay, do not forget what goes around comes around. Mr. Paulus do not expect any of us to buy your porno movie upon release. As for the rest of us, we need to respect and accept that no one owes US an explanation. If Clay is gay or not it is not anyones business. Clay keep your head up.

Posted by Ernie? on February 1, 2006 9:59 PM

 

Give me a break...this is no mystery. This JP is just another wannabe porn starlet. Got give him props for dreaming up such a big background story for his film debut. I have a feeling this one has been cast and in the works for some time.

Hey can't you have a cumrag without being gay? I mean if a guy masturbates, wipes it up with a towel.....
If the towel was left in a hotel and got into the hands of John Paulus....
I'm not saying Clay's not gay - maybe he is, who cares? - and I am a Claymate who would support him no matter what.

Posted by innocent? on February 6, 2006 10:10 AM

 

WOW. Clay Aiken is NOT gay. Obviously this peice of crap wanted to start bullshit right when his second album was about to come out. Clay Aiken doesnt even believe in premartital sex...and with a guy? Are you kidding me? the cum rag was probably from the guy himself after he jacked off a bit. That guy is a total scumbag and id kick his ass personally if i knew where to find him.

Here I am...the infamous MACCWC in person! Yes, it is I, the Middle-Aged Conservative Christian Woman {gasp} Claymate {BIGGER GASP}! I am also, I'm sure, in the minority in that I'm at least willing to say,"could be true that he is gay,",
{be still my poor broken middle aged heart that I will never have the chance to do naughty things like I want to with him :o( }but I have to say that I don't believe that *coughshitcough* {sorry something in my throat} Pukeus for a minute! Poor guy is getting death threats I hear.... someone really needs to get on one of our great Clayboards & slip in that Osama claimed to have had sex with OMC{Our Man Clay} and that son of a bitch would be done in a month! Claymates are a rough bunch let me tell you! Now me personally, I just want to tuck the dear sweet lad into bed with a goodnight kiss on the cheek and say night-night, good Christian woman that I am....now the part that wants to lock him up in my basement for a few months or so, and eat him up with a spoon,well never mind about that! But I will not quit listening to his music or going to his concerts if he says he's gay....I will of course be forced to try and lure him back to "our side" as you get all the good ones anyway! God help Pukeus is all I have to say...he has no idea what he's up against!!
But suffice it to say, I won't be the one praying to God to help him!
Now about Clay maybe being gay, WHO CARES!!! Really, it's his business & his alone. His choice to come out if he is or stay in if he is , IS HIS BUSINESS! If that's the decision he made for himself, then leave the poor man alone in his choices! {Plus if he's in a closet I will have a better chance of blocking the door..WHO keeps saying those things!!??:o)} There's my 2 cents!
BTW, Clay sweetie if you're reading this, I really am handy with a spoon..(WHO is that woman??! :o)} MACCWC out! Oh not THAT way!! ;o)

Posted by MACCWC? on February 8, 2006 11:59 PM

 

This John Paulus is a disgrace to the gay community. He really has not helped to bring acceptance to gays. He is a scumbag, sleaze who is capitalizing on a fine human being who has a great career. How dare he. His latest ploy is to go on Howard Stearn and spread his venom with his latest plan to become a porn star. Expose this fool for what he is.

Posted by Al? on February 9, 2006 1:39 AM

 

I could care less if Jay Leno dragged Clay out of the damn closet. I DO care about the allegations of unprotected sex...that's sooooooo not a message Mr. A wants to spread. The whole situation might be distasteful and suspect, but the bottom line is , there's a major possibility that CA is not playing safe and that's just wrong...no matter what we think of him or John P.

***The ones who are saying "who cares", why are you reading the article and posting comments?***

***Guess what. I'm sure Clay has at least one fan that is straight, good-looking, intelligent, and young...I would know I'm one of them...and I don't appreciate what is being said about him or his fans...***

***Pick up and read a book...may I suggest Clay's book, the one he wrote himself, about his entire life...his fears, beliefs, likes and dislikes, and how he grew up to be a young man who has remained true to himself, and encourages others to do the same***

***For your information Clay cannot dance and has bad fashion sense. If that doesn't show he's not gay, I don't know what does..***

***The National Inquirer pays people to tell lies and encourages lawsuits...that's how they get business.***

I would love to believe this story...well no I actually I wouldn't cause Clay is as attractive as cement (get that?...god I'm sooooo funny...no really, I am)

Anyhow...Clay a top?..an aggressive top?...PUH-LEASE...I think not...if he and Ricky Martin got together they would be knitting Dildo cozies before falling asleep, their assholes still twitching, wet with anticipation....what a lovely video that would make...watch out Paris Hilton!

Posted by Rolyn Chambers? on February 9, 2006 9:22 PM

 

people for all of you that are in denial, get a grip. Clay is gay, and hooks up with guys all the time off the net. I hooked up with him when he was in college. He made several mistakes going out of his way to stress he wasn't gay and now he is going to pay the price. Don't put him on some High moral ground because you will be proven a fool. I did throw out my blue dress and wont be doing any tabloid stories, there are plenty of sleazebags out there for that.

Posted by Dave? on February 12, 2006 9:32 AM

 

I think it's amazing how Clay's fans fervently deny that he's gay. He was way out when he was living in Raleigh...it was only after IDOL that he went in the closet.

Posted by RaleighRad? on February 12, 2006 1:59 PM

 

I am gay and I wouldn't touch Clay Aiken with someone else's dick, but let's all be real here....

The boy is gayer than a $3 bill. Nothing wrong with it, like I said. But don't fool yourselves.

In addition - After seeing the pictures of the "Green Beret" (and already knowing what Clay looks and acts like) I really don't want to know who was the top and who was the bottom. Frankly, I would get more turned on watching the squirrels in my backyard fuck on the lawn.

Those of you who say "I just know he would never do anything like that" really make my day - You should never say such things as they only make your opinion in other matters, all the less reliable.

If your Gaydar doesn't register a hit when you see Clay Aiken, you need to exchange it for a new one, because you got a lemon.

Posted by The Great Bazoo? on February 13, 2006 4:30 PM

 

God, I can't believe you silly queens say "Glay isn't gay because he say's he's not gay" and other assorted crapola! Liberace denied the hell out of his homosexuality until he drew his last breath, and we all now know he was quite fruity. Rock Hudson did it, and now Clay is doing the same thing. For all you "Claymates" and other nitwits that say he isn't gay because he says he isn't, my advice to you is to come out of the cave or that rock you live under, and realize that no matter how hard you wish that it isn't true --- it really is! Not that it matters, because it doesn't, but for you people to fool yourselves, it's mind boggling! Wake the hell up!

Posted by Aching for Clay? on February 14, 2006 11:50 AM

 

It’s amazing how many truly clueless people are out there! Of course Clay is Gay, have you ever seen him? I suppose you still think Rosie O’Donnell was just kidding about the whole “lesbian” thing too! The issue is not the fact that Clay is a homosexual; the issue is that he continuously lies about being straight. Like a previous entry states, he should just avoid questions about his orientation. He’ll never be able to “come out” now with his head held high maintaining the respect of his fans (and non-fans) after lying and insulting everyone’s intelligence. One can understand why he wouldn’t want to hold and wave a P.F.L.AG. sign because of the attitude about gays from ‘middle-America”, but Clay, please stop the 360 in saying that you’re straight and saving yourself for marriage. It just paints you as pathetic and completely ridiculous closet case with zero respect or pride for yourself.

Posted by Ebony Summers? on February 15, 2006 7:12 PM

 

Dear John,
You and your cohorts have tried to ruin Clay Aiken and his career, and have failed once again.

Let me tell you WHY you keep failing, and why you shall NEVER succeed in destroying Clay or his career.

You see - you got US all wrong. The Clay Fans. It is a prejudice you have against us. (The SAME dumb prejudice that keeps the 'is he or isn't he gay' obsession going about all celebrities in the first place).

Clay Fans; you have us pegged as "fat middle-aged white Christian women" who love Clay because he is so religious. You see, THAT is where you are SADLY mistaken.

Go to Clay concerts, and you will see that Clay attracts MANY types of women. We are young, middle aged and old. We are thin, average weight and fat. We are short, average height and tall. We are white, hispanic, oriental and black. We are rich, middle-class and poor. We are lawyers, doctors, nurses, secretaries, housewives, mothers, grandmothers. We are Christian, Jewish, Muslim and atheists. We are straight women, lesbians and bisexuals.

WE ARE EVERY WOMAN, of every demographic. AND some intelligent men with good taste are also discovering Clay Aiken's amazing voice.

You need to understand this. We all love Clay Aiken, but for our own reasons.

Yes, for each of us it does start with his beautiful voice and his other talents. But there is more.

Why we love and support Clay Aiken. For some, it is JUST his voice. Or because they were heartbroken when he came in second place on that dumb TV show. Or for his morals and charity. Or because he makes us laugh. Or because he is handsome and sexy. And some, MANY of us, love and support Clay Aiken for ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Bottom line; no matter WHAT Clay Aiken does in his private life, or WHO he treats any way you claim he does - it simply does NOT matter. NOT to us. Because we don't EXPECT him to be perfect, or anything more than a human being, a man, whom we adore.

You keep making claims that Clay Aiken is imperfect. Go right ahead. It just makes him MORE real and MORE lovable to us.

No matter what you say or do, you CAN'T take ANY of that away from Clay Aiken, or from us.

The only thing this story succeeded in doing was to promote John Paulus into the gay porn movie industry. That's it! He's a sorry a*s to do what he did, IMO. He had no right to use others for his own personal gain. Doing so is really low, whether his story is true or not, it's irrelevant.

The only good news to come from of all of this is his plan to bring down and expose Mr. Aiken has failed. I think he misjudged just how loyal and devoted the Clay mates really are. But he learned...if you mess with Clay, you'll have to deal with his fans.

The boy can SING! The sexual preferences are his. Let's take everyone who has posted their negative comments on here, and analyze THEIR sex lives. Then let's put their name in there, and smear it all over the forum! We do know that the boy has morals, and is a Mama's boy. Does that make him GAY? Maybe. Those of you who are more interested in his sex life than his music have NOTHING TO DO!The boy can SING!

Posted by IMAMOM? on February 24, 2006 5:49 AM

 

What a joke.

Anyone with a brain can see that he's gay. Most of you "Claymates" are pretty pathetic. Are all of your gaydars broken?

Clay is not innocent. Britney Spears was saying the same thing about saving herself for marriage while she was banging Justin Timberlake to Hell and back. Don't think Clay wouldn't do that.

Personally, I think Clay is disgusting. Like someone else said, "I wouldn't touch him with someone else's dick". Still, he could at least have some integrity by being true to his fans and coming out. Who's he really fooling, anyway?

If it is true, kudos to Mr. Paulus for owning up to banging this creature. I hope his dick forgives him someday.

I hope he is outed. He has it coming for being such a Diva-bitch.

I have personally known Clayton for about 12 years. He and I attended the same church together. Clayton has been on many of our family vacations with us including 3 trips to New York where he saw his first Broadway musical with us.
I am writing this email, to remind you of the gifted man he is. Whether he is gay or not should not even be discussed. Clayton has a right to be who he is.
Let's enjoy the music and voice that God has blessed him with. If Clayton reads this he knows who I am. He knows that I support him and will stand up for his right to be who he is, and that is a gifted talent.
Our family is very proud of him. Whether it be in the high school plays at Leesville or working for me at the video store that I managed. Clayton is Clayton and I am very proud to have been a part of his life before Idol and prouder still today to call his mom my friend and very proud of Clayton .
Just because he is now in the spotlight doesn't give others the right to call him names.
If anyone reads this give him a break and listen to his beautiful voice.

I honestly don't think Clay is gay. I think he is bisexual. Of course I haven't talked to him for a while, so maybe he likes men now. Either way, no one NOT ONE person should be "outted" against his/her will. If he is really gay, he will come out on his own.

I think this is one big unfortunate mess.

I am 11 years old, so i really dont understand what some of John's letter is talking about.

But, i think this whole Clay Being Gay thing is getting SOOOOOOOO old.at first i hated it, then it was annoying, then it made me really angry,
Now, its just making me cry.I think about what Clay has to go through, all these horrible,Sick, heart breaking rumors that are so hatefull. Clay didnt do anything to you people! He is a wonderfull person and he's like a brother to me.If im sad, i just think about him and he makes everything better. I am so very sorry that he has to deal with all you idiots. I wish he could just live his life without people doing this to him, He doesnt deserve this.No ONE DOES. No one should have to put up with this crap, exspecialy not Clay.I have loved him ever since he started on American Idol. I was a fan for about 4 years, And i still am one. And i always will be. I want all this nonsense to end, and never come back. I swear, if one more person tells me "ewww, clays ungly and gay" I am just gonna slap them across their frikin face. I seriously cant stand it anymore. Clay is such a nice person and Shows no sign of being gay. His hair is hot, his face is adorable, he is skinny, Wears cool clothes, sings wonderfully, and Has a really awsome North Carolina Acsent. I dont see anything gay about him! People's excuses are always "Being gay goes against the bible!" Excuse me! you people need to go reread the bible! Yall are jsut readingbetween the lines and making up stuff just so the bible can suit you.Well guess wat, it doesnt work that way. The bible says nothing about making everybodys live a living hell because you feel like teasing someone you dont like.

You morons can jsut take your rumors and stupid Excuses and Stick them where the sun dont shine.

Signed,
A very upset ClayMate

Clay Aiken is not Gay i Know he is not gay because i know alot about him i have his book on CD it tells about his life story so stop saying he is gay he is not gay he loves the ladys & he is still a virgin never had sex before with a girl in his life he says he would never have sex until he gets merried & he is a christian & he does not love men to date just as friends only he love the ladys to date & he say on tv that he was not gay & he loved the lady & that he is still a virgin

First of all, personally, I firmly believe the gay allegations/gay sex scandal is bullshit. That's why they called it a SCANDAL, right? A S-C-A-N-D-A-L. Meaning: Something that is made up by people who are bored with their own lives and have to dwell on and rely on the lives of others to get by.

Clay Aiken is not gay. He knows it, his fans know it and God knows it, too. And if people need to question him on his sexuality to have something to bash about him, to find a fault in this extraordinary young MAN, then that's just sad.

Has the world been so uneventful that they feel the need to make up stories?

If they think so, then I feel bad for those people.

No, scratch that, I PITY those people.

That's about as low as you can get.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to save your virginity for marriage. I actually think that, in today's sex-driven society, it is a noble act. Very few people in the spotlight have the gumption to say that they are virgins and would rather not have pre-marital sex, and I admire Clay all the more for standing by his principles and values.

So people, please, get a life and stop insisting that Clay is gay. He is obviously not gay.

Have you seen the effect this man has on women?! They throw panties, bras and other undergarments on stage when he performs. Even the contestants on MISS AMERICA hit on him. (They did this when he performed last 2003 during the pagent.)

How can you say that Clay is gay?

The way he talks? Come one people, it's called a Southern accent. Millions of people have this, so can you honestly say that EVERYONE who has an accent is gay?

His giggle? So? It's high-pitched. Is there anything wrong with having a high-pitched giggle?

The way he moves and acts? Don't even let me get started on this!

What does he do that may point to him being gay? What? What? What? Tell me, NOW. Give me one CONCRETE example or situation that will prove this. Just one.

I rest my case.

Clay who? If I'm not seeing him on TV, then he really doesn't matter now does he?

I can only hope the fool in question was collecting Aiken's spore in order to destroy it and thereby prevent Aiken clones from springing up across the country...

You find me a cumrag with Chris Daughtry's seed on it, then we'll talk!

Posted by The Telly Nelly? on April 6, 2006 2:01 PM

 

What has finding out that Clay is gay changed? Nothing.He is still the same person with a great voice.

Posted by Clay's biggest fan? on April 12, 2006 9:47 PM

 

All I can say is that Clay is a super great singer! I love his voice and stage presence. I once flew to a different city to see a Clay Aiken concert, and it was the most fun, upbeat, high energy concert I've ever been to. Worth every penny, and more.

I am so looking forward to Clay's future career, and will continue to support him in all his endeavors.

I thought Clay had a meaningful relationship with John Dahlstrom, his make-up man/hair stylist/dancer top. So is that off?

Posted by ProfessorVP on January 25, 2006 06:33 AM

A lot of his fans are still in total denial about his sexual orientation, despite ample evidence as to his preference. I mean John D was certainly no secret.

I keep reading this on other blogs.
Is it true or not?

The world is so corrupt that many do not recognize a nice guy anymore.

My friends are in the record industry, and are close friends with Clive Owen. While Clay was recording his christmas album, my friends spent time with him. Yes, he is gay. And truly it saddens me that he doesn't have the confidence nor the courage to just 'come out.' At this point, the lie he's telling (that's he's straight) is simply ruining his career. If he'd just be brave enough to the admit the truth, then at least a large part of the population would still be able to respect him. But the longer he denies being gay, he's simply managing to ostrasize what could be his greatest audience (the gay community.) It's so heartbreaking to me that he won't use his celebrity to actually help the gay cause...instead he's using it to imply there's something wrong with being gay.

Gay or not I hope he is practicing Safe Sex.

I don't want another Wonderful voice silenced like Freddie, due to risky behavior.

Clay we love you

Posted by MARY? on May 25, 2006 10:39 AM

 

Clay is a talented performer, as he showed on the Wednesday night AI finale--it matters not to me, nor should it to anyone, whether or not he is gay...all I know is that he makes me happy!

Posted by Eileen? on May 26, 2006 6:21 PM

 

I know John Paulus. This is exactly something he would do, and why we don't miss him a bit in Ft. Lauderdale. I had to laugh when someone mentioned it might help to promote his porn career. YUK.
John is an unemployed drug-addicted opportunist.

What Clay Aiken's personal life has to do with his ability to sing escapes me. I have never seen a performer lose their talent due to sexual preference. It is such a warped concept of reality that it boggles the mind. Would anyone writing these messages like to have their personal lives aired out on national press? I doubt it.

No matter what Clay's sexual preference is, John Paulus is a scumbag. Who would ever do that to someone they cared about even if it is true? This seems to be all about $$$ and nothing more. I can only hope this backfires and John Paulus's career goes down the dumper.

Youu know I have never ever seen an exception list in the Bible when it states, "Judge not and ye will not be judged" and "Love thy Neighbor as thyself."

Gay or straight, I love Clay Aiken's music and I will buy it no matter what his sexual preference. I don't care who he sleeps with, it is not any of my business. Let's face it, if Clay wasn't as successful as he is this wouldn't be news because no one in the press, absolutely no one, would touch it because it wouldn't sell.

No matter what I will always buy Clay Aiken's music. Let us not forget how much good Clay has done in this world from helping autistic children to Unicef, there aren't many other successful people who have given back so much. Gay or not gay, who cares? I just love his music.

Posted by Jeannie? on May 29, 2006 5:05 PM

 

Someone in an above post said that Clay doesn't believe in pre-marital sex. Duh - Gay marriage is not legal (yet). So do you think he's gonna wait until it's legal to have sex with a partner. Don't think so.

There are so many gay people in the acting and music industry that hide behind a "wife" or as they call it in Hollywood a "beard".

I am good friends with "THE" gossip columnist on the E! Channel and many of you have no idea some of the preposterous hook-ups in Hollywood and how fake they are - hey if you lived out here and went to certain bars and restaurants - you would see it first hand.

Stand up and Cum out CLAY

I think that this John dude, is a total ass. This may and maynot be true. but if it's not true, this john guy just got himself into a lot of trouble for a false story. Clay should sue...it's no ones buisness to know what he does in his personal life.
no matter what i will support him, if he's gay or not..his choice. he deserves to be treated like a human being..Clay we love you.
See him in concert, because he has an amazing voice

I can understand that Clay Aiken is gay, but with a Marine?

Posted by Secondnature? on December 31, 2006 3:12 PM

 

Do you really want to know why people (like me) care about a Clay's sexuallity? For one it is because he is famous and inluences many people (Hell check out how many different forums there are on just this suject) It is also because children today listen to what is hot just like everyone else did in thier childhood. I personally would not like my children to become gay so any influence in that direction I would/will/do consider negative. Just like any GOOD parent would not let thier 5 year old son/dauther listen to say Slipknot, Eminem, and so on nor would they let them watch say pornographic or rated "R" movies would you? So no if Clay is gay or not does not matter to me, I'm not gay nor do I plan on become so, but to me it is the ifluence not the fact of if he is or isn't.

And on a side note, these Emo Homo's like AFI's leader singer are the reason for children today cutting themselves and wearing all black "because they are different"
