Shocker! Clay Aiken comes out of the closet

This news came as a complete shock and surprise because people have been speculating,talking,mocking and hinting that he's gay for years since he was on American Idol.I'm shocked because I wonder,why did he wait so long to come out and why did he mislead his fans so much?This whole thing doesn't make sense to me at all and it boggles my mind as to why he told his mom first FOUR years ago and then waited so long to tell the American public?I'm sad he's gay because I thought he was one of the few people in the music world that wasn't gay and then now he comes out of the closet and says he's gay.Fostering a child out of wedlock and now this just absolutely makes no sense whatsoever to me at all.I will pray for him through all of this,but I don't think I will be supporting him with my dollars from now on.

Honestly, Clay Aiken announcing that he's gay is like a cheetah announcing that it has spots and can run really fast.

"While Aiken has never been involved in the Christian music industry, he is a professed born-again Christian, so if his fans have questions it'll probably be about how he reconciles his faith and his lifestyle."

It is rather irritating when people refer to homosexuality as a "lifestyle". There is no one single "homosexual lifestyle", just as there is no one single "heterosexual lifestyle". There are homosexuals who are promiscuous and go to bed with someone different every night of the week, and there are homosexuals who have loving, committed, monogamous relationships. Similarly, there are heterosexuals who are promiscuous and sleep around, and there are heterosexuals who have loving, committed, relationships. I sincerely doubt that Clay Aiken is a homosexual who sleeps around. I would think that if he has/had homosexual relations, they have/will be/been in the context of a committed relationship. I don't see why Christians can't have loving, committed, monogamous homosexual relationships like they can have similar heterosexual relationships. It is my view that when the Bible addresses instances of homosexual behavior, it is addressing homosexual ritual sex and prostitution in pagan temples. It says nothing about loving, committed, monogamous homosexual relationships. If Clay Aiken is a committed Christian, it is unlikely he will engage in promiscuity as a homosexual....rather, he will most likely have a loving, committed, monogamous homosexual relationship.

PhoenixOrion - I'm sorry I irritated you with "homosexual lifestyle." I just was making the point that he was living a homosexual life - ie: relationships with other men - vs a hetersexual life - ie: relationships with women. If you have a better phrase to use, by all means let me know! :)

All the best

this is a shoker, clay i'm very diappointed.dude, what are u tryin to tell other young boys and your son that it is okay to to love a woman get her pregnant and then break her heart by tellin her that your gay? but one thing for sure i'll pray for u and God still loves u. he always did and he always will.

I normally don't respond to things such as this, but it seems that since Rock Hudson "came out" , that suddenly half the world is gay!!!
Don't you know that Hollywood starts most of this garbage on tv that urges this type of behavior on. Same thing with gambling. Little by little, they plant a seed, and bamm there you go. Drinking, so on and on. If they can get plant in in your mind..then the old devil makes you believe you are. We all are born with weaknesses and sins, and my friend, the Lord is there to save us from our sins if we will just turn from our wicked ways and follow Him. We have to repent, repent, repent, and realize that we are lost and undone. and our righteousness are as filthy rags. We are nothing without Him..We are, as a nation in pretty dire shape right now on the verge of some very serious consequences if we don't realize that we are destroying ourselves.
Lord, we need your help!

Well I would say that the title of this article and even more so the first three paragraphs, tells me exactly where YOU are coming from so I will just leave it at that.

I know the bible says to love everybody but sin is still sin. whether you look at it from a biblical perspective or a secular perspective. More defined.. Homosexuality is a sin God said in his word was a stench that reached the heaven. God literally send fire and brimestone to burn down 2 cities because he couldnt take it. Yet you have "so called christians" propagating the same thing God hates? God said he will give them up to vile affection men with men and women with women working unseemingly against their own nature, defiling themselves one with another. Being a christian is denying ones self to follow Christ.

Another thing you have to keep in mind that satan can do alot of things. He can cause you to think otherwise(decieve you) and he can also set up his own people to make you think they are christians and disrupt God's true plan(the bible says he appears as an angel of light as well)

Don't fall into the trap of evil. We all sin but we have to live our lives that is pleasing to God and not ourselves
