Here’s what
Clay Aiken had to say in an interview with
GAVoice: “There was this misconception that I was not out. I was in ‘Spamalot’ and everyone knew, but I don’t necessarily want to sit at a table with strangers and tell them. When you come out, you do it with people you are comfortable with. … “I definitely do see the liberation and understand the rationalization of people wanting me to be out. On the other hand, I wouldn’t say that coming out has made me happier because that implies I was not happy before and I was.”
Well, I’m glad Clay was happy then and is happy now. He’s a talented guy and deserves to be happy.
For those interested in reading more about this “I was never in” nonsense, there’s a terrific article over at
AfterElton.com that I recommend. I love this line from the article: “… Internet speculation is not the same thing as being “out.” At all. What?
