Predictably, THIS has caused LOADS of trouble….

Yesterday, we brought you the news that American Idol crooner Clay Aiken had finally come out to his fans, after years of rumours about his sexuality. Clay was understandably nervous about breaking the news, as he’s huge with, well, somewhat conservative types (that’s the polite way of putting it). And it seems his worst fears might have come true – dozens of his most devoted fans have posted messages on forums expressing their horror. You have to see them to believe them – it’s mind-blowing stuff in the year 2008…
 
“This is a gut wrenching day for The ClayNation. Somebody wake me up, I hope it's a dream."
 
"Please tell me I'm not the only one who is shocked beyond belief! I feel numb I'm so upset. This can't be real!! How can you guys say this won't change anything? This changes EVERYTHING. I don't even know what to think right now"

"I still love to hear him sing but I also feel he has now become like a Michael Jackson and it's a bit too weird! He isn't just the plain ordinary person with the values he first stood for.”

"I just feel rather silly now having spent the last 5 years drooling over and being fan girly for a singer I thought was straight and now finding out he is gay. It does change my perception of who he is and how I see him. We always called him our boyfriend and that won't be happening anymore."

"One really sad thing for me that sums this up. This morning at the breakfast table my 9 and 10 year olds were there and the radio was on and they came on with the headline "Former American Idol..." and I knew what was coming and I ran to turn it off. I didn't want my young children to hear that and ask questions about it. To me this is the saddest thing and the reason I won't be able to hold him as my idol. I remember the day when I ran to turn it on and called all the family to watch with pride. It just seems so in your face now and I don't want exposing my kids to this.”
