Gay?
Straight?
Who cares, says American Idol alum Clay Aiken.
When it comes to his sexuality, "People don't want to have that type of stuff pushed, people who are living in Omaha or in Charlotte or wherever," Aiken, 29, tells Access Hollywood.
"They don't want stuff like that pushed in their face," he adds. "I don't think that's necessary and that's also not what I'm here for. I mean, I went on Idol to be a singer, I went on Idol to be an entertainer and that's what my priority is."
When blogs began speculating on his sexuality -- several men even came forth, claiming to have met Aiken in gay chat rooms -- he admits it was "difficult initially.
"I think when you get into anything and you're not used to people scrutinizing this, that or the other... it bothers you," Aiken says.
"After awhile you kind of just say, 'Forget this ... This is not who I am, this is not about me, what I want to do is be a singer, want to be an entertainer, and forget all that stuff,'" he adds.

What he said, and what you just printed, are two completely different things. Doesn't anyone do their research anymore?

Where Clay is strong, you are very weak, giving in to the urge to slam him about his looks and sexuality. Why are you and others so hung up on his sexuality anyway? He's just a singer, and a good one, why should his personal life matter to you or anyone else. You're never going to be in it so it shouldn't matter at all.

Clay Aiken is a strong woman? Another blogger who think they can become popular and get a few hits by slamming Clay Aiken. It's getting old and no one cares. Your blog says more about you than him - and it ain't purty!!
