Singer Clay Aiken comes out

Courtesy of 365Gay.com Clay Aiken is finally confirming what many people already knew: He's Gay. The cover of the latest People magazine shows Aiken holding his infant son, Parker Foster Aiken, with the headline: "Yes, I'm Gay." The cover also has the quote: "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things." The baby's mother is Aiken's friend and record producer Jaymes Foster. Aiken, who gained fame as the runner-up on American Idol in 2003, rarely addressed the frequent rumors about his sexuality. In an interview with The Associated Press two years ago, he said: "I don't really feel like I have anybody to answer to but myself and God and the people I love." The multiplatinum singer recently released the CD On My Way Here and made his Broadway debut this spring in Monty Python's Spamalot.
