There has been speculation about the sexual orientation of "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken for years. Tuesday, he revealed he is gay via the cover of People magazine. The cover is a powerful declaration, and it's adorable to boot.
Aiken is a new father. He son Parker was born Aug. 8. Music producer Jaymes Foster, the baby's mother, became pregnant via in vitro fertilization. I think it's a positive thing that Aiken wants to tell his child -- and the world -- the truth. Bloggers like Perez Hilton made fun of Aiken for not coming out sooner, but it's a sensative issue that people should only talk about when they're ready.
