Gayken Is Kind Of Likeable.....
Clay Gayken looks like a 40-something gayelle with an extensive collection of holiday sweaters and ceramic ducks, but he's kind of likeable. Gayken gave an interview to Diane Sawyer (who talks like she's on ludes and wine) about the whole gay thing. The singing at the beginning made my ears twitch, but I wasn't completely annoyed with the rest of the interview. I would never EVER hit it, but I'd share a big dick with him. FUCK. I swear, I'm not turning into a Claymate! NO.
If you ever see a post on here with the title "Yes, I'm a Claymate," immediately throw my ass into the crazy house before I completely become a mom jeans wearing maniac!
Ha! That was amazing...always thought CA was a tool/joke - this interview portrayed him as a reasonably chill individual.
From now on, I'm not doing anything I don't want to do! The world owes me happiness, fulfillment and success.... I'm just here to cash in.
"Johnny Mathis is gay?"
Yeah. He came out (half-heartedly) in 1982, subsequently received death threats from his former fan base, and never broached the subject again. Jim Nabors has also been in the position of basically being accepted as gay by anyone in-the-know and defended as straight by fans who'd be shocked! shocked! to discover someone in show biz wouldn't be a total bitch magnet.
This stuff actually happens. I worked for a theatrical licensing company in New York just after I graduated college and my boss showed me their crank letter file (more like whole filing cabinet) that went back fifty years. The creepiest shit was always the anti-gay tripe that flooded in any time a play touched on the subject. Don Knotts had a ton forwarded to the company office when he headlined a production (the title of which escapes me) back in the early '70s. And yeesh, the grammar. The grammar!
It's true. You don't often see or hear a paranoid hate diatribe that's eloquently written or spoken. It's mostly a lot of "them thar fags!," "your goin to burn in hell!," and "this is Satin's work!". And everyone knows that all the GOP's crypto-white supremacist doublespeak is really penned by the Log Cabin Republicans because they're experts at talking out of both sides of their mouths.

hahaha @ "the grammar, the grammar!!"
not a coincidence that narrow-mindedness and prejudiceness coincide with low level intelligence :-\

respect.
I saw the interview and liked Clay better than I ever have...but I will NEVER be a Claymate. And, duh, we knew he was gay, but the interview wasn't half bad.
This was a good move for Clay. I agree with the D-Listed guy, he is even less annoying.
The whole gay thing, it was like *DUH.*
But, before whenever he talked he gave this weird vibe, like an actor trying to act straight and gay at the same time. And he'd have this weird manner of speaking, kind of prissy, kind of angry, and kinda "I'm just so shy and uncomfortable I'll act like a boy" mixed with that deep southeast accent. And it all came together very strange.
And now, he seems like he's let go of all that, and can talk normally, and even the deep southeast accent seems normal. He's relaxed. He's mature. I didn't like listening to him before, even for a minute. Now I can tolerate it.
He seems like a nice guy.
I really respect his commitment to his son.
hahahahaha
i love it when talks about telling his mom on the day his brother went to camp lejune.."i just thought, well, it's a bad day already!" LMFAO
that was awesome
He is adorable. I always thought he was. Goofy and cute. My question is: What is his relationship dynamic with the mother of his child? Do they live together? Are they raising the baby together? Do they rotate custody? So many questions.
As far as I know he's unknown in the UK but he seems nice enough. I can't imagine being surprised he was gay tho'. Mind you my mum's still getting over Rock Hudson so people see what they want to I suppose.

Dianne Sawyer sounds like she's on wine and ludes because she is AWFUL on the air. She must be able to suck the chrome off a bumper because there is no other explanation for her being employed.
I didnt know Micheal Cera was Clay's younger brother...
I am now officaily a Clay fan.
Too bad the DL black stars won't come out.
Gay Al...Oprah...Steadman...Queen Latifah...Michael Jackson...
Sawyer is such an overpaid idiot.
I can't look at her without thinking of Mo Collins on MADtv.
Congrats to Clay's new baby. So adorable. I like Clay and hope he finds peace, success, and happiness. I mean hello Manilow, Ellen, and Elton are well on their way!
Adoption would have been an option too, but it wouldn't have been part Gayken.
OMG Clay, hold meee

Um, how is he being tormented if he has no interest in women? That Twilight Zone thing was a bad analogy.

O.K. I don't have anything nasty to say, but I do have this. I SWEAR this is a real post by a Claymate:
"I'm shocked, but I'm not. I'm sad, but I'm sad for him. Whenever we discussed it at home...I mostly kept out of it. I thought he was straight. But in my mind, I thought, "If this is true, he must be the loneliest man in the world. How 'Time Enough at Last' is this? He's more or less a psychosexual cult leader- women wanted to love him -and he had no access to any romantic love in his life. He was the guy in the Twilight Zone surrounded by books- time enough at last to read -and his glasses were broken. He must have been in hell."
Seriously.
Discuss.

Johnny Mathis is gay?
*slaps this thread*
Sorry, the love fest is giving me the vapors.

I think X17 has some footage of MK buying some Costco muffins earlier today. Turning into a Claymate for sure.

"I think we'll need some more FBI guys."
He must have mystical powers or something...the more I watched the more I liked him. I even got the giggles when he was laughing; he seems like a really down to earth guy and reminds me of some of my old friends. Good job, Mr. Aiken.

Good for him. And yeah, he is very likable even if you don't like his music.
PSL: I thought I spotted a hot looking chick browsing the Manilow hoodies when I was passing by. Don't feel too bad... I went down the hall to the Star Trek restaurant and had some Isolinear chips and dip. Talk about lame Vegas experiences.

Since when did he get fat?

You've obviously never been to the Vegas Hilton where he headlines. They have an ENTIRE STORE devoted to nothing but Manilow merchandise. It's just down the hall from the Star Trek Experience.

GUILTY. Manilow fan here. My Uncle wrote a bunch of his biggest hits with him in the 70's. I have a CD of his in my car....hahaha

Good for Clay! I've never liked or disliked him, but I really like what he's saying about being true to himself & raising his son to be proud of who he is, no matter who that might be.
I wouldn't fuck him....even with someone else's dick...

MK wouldn't hit it? That's a first!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yeah! Like, not even for practice?
DS "(who talks like she's on ludes and wine)" -- Oh MK, totally. lol

Well if that don't beat all...he is a likeable little poof after all.
It does make me laugh to think that, worse than the pathetic claymates living in their fantasy worlds, his mom couldn't tell. I knew a gay guy in high school who was very much like this one in demeanor. He had two brothers who were like twice his size, really rugged manly-man type guys...and then the little sensitive one. I assumed his family HAD to know.
Nope...and they freaked out when he came out to them. How can you NOT see what's under your nose? Eeesh.

I don't really have anything all that personal against him, but he just always seemed like such a throwback to crooners like Liberace and Johnny Mathis from '50s and '60s who were clearly gay and yet beloved by mainstream America. What's so irksome is that there still seems to be this huge cross section of American culture that's A) devoid of any sort of gaydar, and B) prone to pathetic hissy fits when one of their fave pop stars doesn't live up to their Wonder Bread heterosexual ideal.
Gay Gayken must really like being in Spermalot...I mean Spamalot...sorry.
-------------------------------------
I kind of didn't care about him before, but now? He's cool. He knew people already knew and handled this in a dignified way. Well said.
I'm impressed. Go Clay.

Damn it, MK! He's kinda cute (yeah, I said it). I guess I need to go buy a pair of jeans at Sears tomorrow.

Yeah, you will need a pair of extra white keds with that, and get that soccer mom bob trimmed. Also, it's almost October, so that means: HOLIDAY THEMED SWEATERS!....HWAT!

Hey I ain't trippin cuz the truth is really you don't know me- T.I.
I'm sure there were plenty of Claymates who borrowed their emo kids' razor blades to cut themselves over the last few days. Just wait until Manilow comes out... I wonder what flavor of Kool Aid the Fanilows will use
Get out!!!1 There are Manilow fans that don't think he is gay????
