Suddenly Being Gay (Or Bisexual) Has Become Quite the Trend
Newsflash... Clay Aiken publicly admitted he was gay to People magazine this week. Many were shocked. Not to learn that Clay Aiken was gay, but that he felt he had to admit it. It seems that the closet the American Idol runner-up has been in has been quite transparent. But he said that he could not raise his son, a child he fathered through in vitro fertilization, in an atmosphere of lies.Hot on the heels of the Aiken outing is the news that actress Lindsay Lohan has admitted to dating DJ Samantha Ronson. Rumors of the relationship have been circulating for over a year. Lohan told Ted Stryker, radio personality and co-host of the syndicated call-in talk show "Loveline," in a phone interview that the two had been dating for over a year.
So Clay Aiken And Lindsay Lohan Are Gay... Who Else?
Gay is in. Being gay is so in that everybody is doing it these days. Rarely a day goes by when the internet, the tabloids, and the entertainment news shows aren't outing someone or announcing someone outing themselves.
But it does cause a stir in the mainstream media, regardless. Take, for instance, Megan Fox' recent admission in GQ magazine that she not only was infatuated with a Russian stripper but also thought "House" star Olivia Wilde was "sexy" and someone with which she could have a relationship.
Said Neil Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, "We congratulate Clay for making this decision and for setting an example for others and his family. As we're seeing, more and more gay people, including celebrities, are living openly and honestly, and this has tremendous impact in terms of creating awareness, understanding and acceptance."
George Takei, the inscrutable weapons officer on "Star Trek," married his partner, Brad Altman, in June.
Last month, Ellen Degeneres married her longtime partner Portia de Rossi in a highly publicized ceremony. Degeneres asked Senator John McCain on her talk show to walk her down the aisle, but he was a no-show.

I giggle because Charlie has "big butt shorts", too. *hugs to Charlie*
What kind of a dismissive statement is that to make? "But if you don't believe the Bible, then I guess it doesn't matter what you believe anyway." What a crock. Half the planet does not believe what the bible says. The bible is just a guide book. You know, like "Philosophy for Dummies." Don't steal, don't kill, don't screw your neighbor's wife. Good rules. But every other religion has the same ones. But it does matter what I believe. Just as much as what you believe. And my neighbor, who is Catholic. And the guy across the street, who is Hindu. It matters. It all matters. I just choose not to force what I believe on another human being, nor will I even insinuate that someone should adopt my belief system. On top of that, I am not so arrogant as to think that my beliefs trump others' beliefs, although I do hold out on the notion that quite a few are misguided and mentally screwed up because of their particular religion...
Wow, anyone who would give ear to Lohan for political advise, is NOT ready to vote for our next president! In fact, let me just state that as far as political advise of any kind from entertainment's "elite" should be ignored.
Gay? You mean he's happy? I would be too if I had a successful music career.
Oh! You mean he's a homosexual. So what? I don't care about (or even believe) the "coming out" statements of some people any more. Most of these are people who aren't getting enough attention and have to get their fill somehow. Pathetic.
@ Pat Burroughs: Good point. Just look at human anatomy. Without being too graphic, let me just say some parts were not meant to function with other parts. It's so obviously against the design of the human body (you don't have to believe in God to see that).
@Leora Mae: That is very, very flawed logic. Many times children copy the behavior of their parents because that's how they think people are supposed to act. But still it is learned behavior. We have homosexuals and pedophiles because there is some poor parenting taking place. Find the nearest homosexual and ask him about his relationship with his father. Chances are it wasn't good. The same goes for f
Ya think?
Pat,
God doesn't MAKE people murderers, pedophiles, homeless, poor, ill natured, mean, ugly, addicts or anything else. Life and humankind, and genetic malfunctions often contribute to what a person is, or isn't. Sometimes society has some input too.
All it takes is too narrow a genetic pool (the I'm my own uncle thing) , a drug used by grandma in the 50s to prevent miscarriage, LSD used by parents in the 70's (and God KNOWS WHAT else) and you have an instability in DNA/RNA. Two people mate, and they both have this in their genetics. VOILA----your kids a mess before they even have a chance!!
Like there was any question about his sexual orientation.....HE'S FLAMING!!! HELLO??
In the wake of Clay Aiken's surprise announcement, I have an announcement of my own to share ... I'm Black. I just didn't think I could live with myself, or raise my future children, if I didn't admit that to myself and the WHOLE world (even if EVERYBODY knew it already) ...
(sorry Saul I can't help but be a little facetious here either) So, Clay Aiken is Gay? I'm sitting in front of my keyboard wearing a ratty old T shirt and my big butt shorts. now THAT is truly something the rest of the world didn't know :)
Mr Or Ms. Burroughs (Pat is a gender-neutral name) God creates us all in his image of what he wants us to be. My sister, my Mom, and I were having a conversation just a day or two ago that touched on this, albeit not in the context of the gay issue. I could go on an entire tirade here about tGay and religion, but I will reserve it for a future article, I will simply say Gay, Straight, Bi, Black, White, Asian, African, Hispanic, Latino, American Indian, Swedish, Norwegian, Canadian, We're all God's creation and in The Bible it says Judge not lest ye be judged.
