God, I'm tired. I've been sick as a dog with the flu all week and spent my first day out of bed glued to my computer and OFC because I feel it's so important that supportive fans post their thoughts. It was great to see so many FCAers there and to read your posts. We're a pretty impressive bunch, I think.

I'm so happy that Clay shared his sperm with Jaymes. Very good choice. That child will probably have a giant set of titaniums--considering the genes he's inheriting.

The thing I liked most about Clay's interview is that he refused to act as though he's some poor victim of his homosexuality. He was proud and open, and I completely adore this man.

More than ever!!

Is the People mag on the stands yet? I'm definitely going to buy it.

What time does ET come on?

People may be on the stands some places--not here yet.

ET comes on at various times and channels as it's syndicated.

I thought she said it was ok to quote the people she quoted but not her.

I may be wrong about that or she may have changed her mind--it was early when she started posting that someone asked her about quoting.

You have led a sheltered life. A man can get an erection looking at a piece of asparagus.

Where?

OKAY found it. So, since she said "well-stated" to someone's statement that Clay probably wasn't free to say anything until after the magazine comes out and the interviews, I'm assuming that's the reason and that we will hear from Clay soon.

Makes sense to me.

I should never read at other boards because if I see one more person whining about "it's not that he's gay, it's that he LIED" I'm going to puke right on my keyboard. PUH-LEESE. Clay has assiduously avoided answering this question for years and when first asked, what was he supposed to do? Announce his gayness to his family on the 6 oclock news?? Get real. Clay can talk easily about this now, but I'm sure that facing having to tell his family and friends was so frightening. Many gay people find themselves completely ostracized by their families. Clay makes jokes about things--that's his way. People who want to see him open his emotional veins and bleed all over Dianne Sawyer are trying to meet their own need to punish gay people. Honestly, do any of us REALLY think we were ever going to get it on with Clay??? And if we weren't, what in the hell does his sexuality matter?

It's NOT about lying, it's about being gay. Dressing up prejudice doesn't make it any more attractive.

Official end to rant.

Clay is so right about the generational divide. I think it's only older people with wrongheaded ideas about "choice" that are the problem. To younger people, and most women, it's a non-issue.

I'm struggling too. Struggling with how to remain non-violent in the face of raw, naked ignorance.

That's it in a nutshell.

I just read that Clay probably got a measly $500,000 for the interview. Times are tough in the magazine biz. I guess Parker's college fund is secure.

And/Or a lot more camps get funded for next summer. Where did you read this?

Kim... Thanks for your post.

merieee

What saddens me most is the judgemental posts that I have read (not here) by posters who call themselves christians. I never thought to read words like abomination. abnormal, perverse, disgusting and unholy in any post about Clay. I understand having to process and understand all this but to out and out condemn.....well I am at a loss for words.

Please tell me here or by PM where you have been reading this kind of crap and I'll be sure not to go there!

The figure came from MSNBC and the un-christian post was at the OFC but the one particular poster is going to all the boards she belongs to and asking to delete her membership. It is just sick.

Good riddance!!! She can't leave too soon!! I just wish she'd leave without spewing all this disgusting filth.

I was married in Washington Cathedral and was told by a priest that I was going to hell because I had not married my catholic husband in a catholic church. I told him that if I was living in sin then I was sure having a good time! Needless to say my MIL was horrified I would speak to a priest that way.

Sick bitches.

(I hope that's sufficiently judgemental.)

I just watched Showbiz Tonight--big report about Clay--but nicely done and supportive. Even though Pond Scum PH was on--even he was pretty toned down and not overly gag-inducing.

New AP article--they've been on the OFC and even said what it costs to join.

Clay is gay: Aiken comes out of the closet

Thank God they used a good picture.

ET is bascially parasitic--they take little smidgeons of information from somewhere and then put together clips--often completely unrelated--to try to make a story. House tour??? Not sure what that has to do with anything!! LOL It must be the best they could come up with on short notice.

Annabear

You are my kind of woman!!!

(Unless, of course, you're a man, but the same applies!)

I got an email from a friend who said how lucky we are that now we have 3 people to love instead of one.

Isn't that lovely?

ETA: Merryclay Thanks for sharing the video. I love it.

Now that I've pulled myself together and gotten over being all schmoopie, I have to say that I thought that was a very good, balanced, unbiased article and that Clay was treated with great respect.

I'm so happy about that.

I'm also happy that (most of) his fans have been so loving, open, and supportive. It must give Clay so much comfort--only fair since he's given us so much joy.

I must just add that I think it's probably not fair to suggest that Clay's friends "lied." In the first place. they probably didn't know. It's not as though he came with a label--and unless Clay came out, it would be completely inappropriate for a friend to "out" him. So, if that's a lie, then it's a very white one, and I think forgivable. (Right up there with my friend telling me, "Oh, yes, you look much thinner since you've lost those 3 pounds.")

I love Clay.

I can't bear the thought of his crying.

God, no wonder we didn't hear much from him after the baby was born. He must have been frantic when Parker was sick.

Oh, I so wish I lived in NYC right about now so I could go to the show tonight and cheer him and let him know how very much he's (always) loved. I hope everyone who can go, goes.

Oh, it was worth getting up for--how will I live until Friday????

ACK!!! They're 5 minutes late!!!!!

I can't believe I'm sitting up here in the middle of the night waiting for an article to appear!

Is it 4AM PST yet????

Play Drama is good--gets the hormones pumping and heart beating. Makes you glow.

Clay has probably added 10 years to our lives!

I got an email from a friend who said someone had posted (somewhere) that she wasn't going to look for Waldo anymore since it's gay.

I just can't stop laughing.

What did the bitch think she was going to DO with Waldo????

ETA: I'm drinking a big cup of tea so that I'll have to get up and pee at 4AM PST (which, I believe is 7AM, EST).

Pathetic.

Really.

Interesting video.

I love to hear him talk.

Did yesterday. Do today.

I suppose it would be tacky and opportunistic to suggest that every gay person in America run out and buy a copy of OMWH to show solidarity.

:club0: :club0:

For those who are worried about what to say to people, just put a big smile on your face and say, "ISN'T IT WONDERFUL!!" and move on.
