Early last month, we learned that Clay Aiken started up a romantic relationship with fellow Broadway thespian Reed Kelly … his first boyfriend since coming out of the closet on the cover of People magazine last September. Once we found out who Clay was dating, we also were treated with a few photos that gave hints as to what attracted Clay to Reed in the first place (bendy = good). Today we get to check out a batch of really cute photobooth pictures of the couple in all sorts of adorable poses which were taken at the closing night party for Spamalot (the Broadway musical that brought the lovebirds together) in NYC:
Firstly, I’m glad to see that the boys are still happily together. These pics are really very cute … even tho they don’t really look that well-matched to me. The cardigan and bow tie combo would look hawt on most guys … on Clay, well, it’s not hot. The kissy photos are just sickeningly adorable. But, I think the most telling photo about the relationship between these two is the last photo … Clay is on top. Yeah, I don’t think we really need to discuss that fact any further, wouldn’t you agree? In any event, I do like this set of photos … it’s really great to see Clay looking so happy. He finally looks truly happy — and I am happy for him.

Why is any gay media outlet still giving this prat any press? He vehemently denied being gay and turned his back on us. Forget about him.
[...] Help. Me. Understand. Also, PITNB has more, if you’re that way inclined. [...]
Big Gay Clay is the one who caused lots of people to find these photos inappropriate by early on in his career professing to be a devout Christian who insisted on everything in his concerts and around him being “family-friendly.” Now he’s grabbing a woman’s boobs, flipping somebody the bird, etc. Not exactly family-friendly, now is it? What a holier-than-thou phony hypocrite. This guy’s 15 minutes were up a long time ago. I wish he’d just go away.
I’m totally confused. What is it about Clay Aiken that gets people so heated?
I wrote one mildly scathing blog post on these pics and all of sudden it’s like paragraphs of crazy start popping up in the comments.
What is it about Clay Aiken? Is there a giant support group of people hunting the internet for posts about him so they can defend his valour?! If so, I love it, but I’m still mega confused.
Help me, people. Help me!
Unlikely that the photos were intended to remain private or they wouldn’t haven’t turned up here (or elsewhere). Like all others in show business it is important to keep your name and face out there and these pictures do exactly that. I haven’t a problem with any of the photos or of Clay just my opinion that the photos wouldn’t have surfaced if he hadn’t wanted them to. And, I totally understand why Clay originally denied being gay. He had no idea what type of career he would have if any and his education was in teaching special needs children. Had he originally admitted to being gay and his career had not taken off it would have been virtually impossible for him to go back home and resume his teaching career. However, he denied it for too long and too loudly !
Too loudly?
He said its none of your business, which it isn’t.
I don’t think that a person desiring another of the same sex can really be a Christian. He may CALL himself or herself that, but they do not really love Christ, or they would stop this sinning during this life and repent. The hereafter is FOREVER and EVER. How long is this human life…75….85 years..maybe. Stop the foolishness and work toward your reward that IS coming. You either want to live forever or you don’t……..you choose..CLAY AIKEN!!!!!
I Can’t believe I’m only commenting now but I find this insanely adorable. I find that some people are too judgemental, while another portion are obsessed. No wait… they are all obsessed. Those who would bother going around bashing and those go around defending. But a fact is a fact, not something you can reject. Oh and those that say he can’t be ‘Christians’ are most likely not ‘Christian’ themselves and are so obviously just looking for attention even if it’s negative connotation. Oh and Clay still has younger fans. Unless you’re calling me old *growls* I’m only 16, *glare* In general, Pay no mind to the negative and just be happy that they are happy :)
