CLAY AIKEN: YES, I'M GAY

Surprise, surprise! (not)... Idol star Clay Aiken, a.k.a. Gayken, has exposed his 'real self' on the cover of People.  But Aiken came out long ago, in his lyrics to "The Real Me": 'But you see the real me, Hiding in my skin, broken from within, Unveil me completely, I’m loosening my grasp, There’s no need to mask my frailty, Cause you see the real me'.  “Yes, I’m gay,” he tells People.  “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.”  Pictured are Aiken and his baby Parker.
