Say it ain't so!

Clay Aiken is gay? Who knew?

Aiken says he expects the news may overwhelm some of his fans. "Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it's going to be a lot," said Aiken, who returned to Broadway last week as Sir Robin in Monty Python's Spamalot.

Umm, Clay ... any fan of yours who hasn't even thought about the whole gay issue (especially since Diane Sawyer asked you that very question in 2006, and you sidestepped it) is living in a bubble. I doubt this is going to be a surprise for many people. Besides, if they do leave you, over your own personal decisions ... you didn't want/need them as a fan anyways. You're in the entertainment business, you entertain ... it's not like we're talking about someone putting their life in your hands, so I don't see any reason for someone to blow a gasket and burn all your CD's over this incident. If they had that bad a choice in music to begin with, I don't think they have much room to complain at this point.
