Claygayte: The Hateful, Homophobic Aftermath Of Clay Aiken's Coming Out

Well, the talk of the day (until an hour ago, when John McCain decided to weasel out of a presidential debate that he is surely unprepared for) has been Clay Aiken's coming out of the closet. I predicted a fan meltdown, and we certainly did get one.

I am pleasantly surprised that the vast majority of his rabid fans are supporting him regardless. Some have awoken to reality. Others have accepted who he is, but have decided to continue crushing on him. Ummm....OK. It's still support.

Of course, there are always those hateful, disgusting few who are just oh-so-sanctimonious, making complete asses out of themselves. Here are a few examples as found on Vote For The Worst, with my reactions added:

My dad was the first person to break the news to me when I came home from an errand this evening. As soon as the news reached my ears, the blood drained from my face and a literal rush of shock surged through my body. My face fell. For a few milliseconds I felt...nothing. Not long after that, I shut myself up in my room and wept silently, my heart breaking. This has all happened during a rough time in my life so that makes it all the more painful for me. I just...I don't know what to do. I'll probably never hear the end of it from my dad. Part of me still thinks this is all a dream, yet the whole of me knows it isn't. I will be withdrawing any financial support of him, as my beliefs do not condone his lifestyle. However, I will continue to pray for him and await further details on the situation.
Well, aren't you a good Christian? Doesn't Jesus teach you to love others unconditionally? HYPOCRITE! FAIL! Neither Clay nor G-d need your hatred being projected through the heavens like that.

Look, even if Clay was straight, I highly doubt the first thing he'd do is dive through the mile of unwashed fat folds that lead to your sweaty, smelly box. Just saying.

Here's a brief opinion:

I cannot continue to support him financially now that I know he has chosen this lifestyle.

Okay. Just shut the fuck up. Again, he doesn't need your huge, wide, overfed, sanctimonious ass. Now, here's a less hateful reaction (this one is just plain stupid)

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. I just am sad, disappointed, and because he is not what I thought he was in terms of his sexuality and how he portrayed himself. He still is a great singer and humanitarian but my "crush" on him is over and that hurts.
Well, maybe next time you won't be stupid enough to fall for the most effeminate male celebrity since Richard Simmons. Just kidding! Of course you'll be stupid enough! Hey, Danny Noriega tells his fans that he's straight, and he needs a new Macbook! What are you waiting for? Buy him one!

I think this one's my favorite:

Because I, who have a certain set of values, state what I believe about gay sex (that its wrong), that makes me judgemental? Its not ignorance on my part at all. I didn't just decide 5 minutes ago that this is what I believe. I know others disagree with me, but I can't change my understanding just because people don't agree with me. I do not believe that I am judgemental or ignorant. Someone quoted "judge not lest you be judged" earlier. I believe that with my whole heart. Yet the same book that says that also says, "judge righteous judgement". We all have to make judgements about various things in our lives, and we do so from experience, nature, study, etc. Even those of you who say I am judging, in saying that, are judging me. IF homosexuality is not a choice, to have gay sex still IS a choice. So I would say that a person can be gay, that is, be attracted to other men, and still choose not to have sex. If Clay does say in his interviews that he is gay, I hope and pray he chooses that route -- abstinence. But its his decision, of course.
I am a long time strong supporter of Clay...I started supporting him because I saw him giving God the glory for where he was on American Idol. Why would anyone be depressed over the fact that, though I still love Clay, I must stand by my convictions first and foremost, unless proven wrong. I love Clay and would die a thousand deaths for him I suppose, but he does not come before my convictions. No one does. I don't know what else to say except please don't accuse those who feel as I do of being second rate fans.
Okay, again, what?

Look, lady, not having sex by choice is a lot different than not having sex because you're so brutally unattractive that you could run naked into a men's penitentiary screaming, "Come on, boys! All holes are open!" and they'd all choose to continue having sex with each other instead. Well, the ones within eyeshot of you would vomit first, then boink their cellmate.

Clay could actually get some, and I think that's the issue here, don't you? Hm?

The best part of this is that they're all going to shut the hell up now. Yay! I'll end this on another good note: I found three fans who are creaming their jeans over Clay's big news.

Leave a comment and discuss. :)

Clay Aiken Comes Out Of The Closet. Congratulations!


People Magazine just reported that Clay Aiken is finally stating the obvious and coming out of the closet after years of speculation. That's right. Clay Aiken is gay.

I know, I wasn't surprised, either.

I'm doing a little dance right now. Not so much because he decided to be who he really was, making me instantly happy for him. This jig I'm doing is for the Claymate meltdown that is occurring. For years, this group of geriatric, delusional women lusted oh-so-age-inappropriately after him, forcing him into a dark world of closeted despair. I wonder, though...will they go into denial, or will they accept Clay's fate and calm the hell down once and for all?

I vote for denial. Don't believe me? Check THIS out. WARNING: Not for the faint of heart.

You're free, Clay! How does it feel?

American Idol Fans Get More And More Rabid Each Day

For those of you who don't know, I am a moderator at the American Idol-related site Vote For The Worst. I am also a co-host of the site's weekly podcast.

A few days ago, we had a very special guest: Season 7 finalist and former VFTW pick Amanda Overmyer. We love Amanda, and if you listen to the show, you'll know why. I'll post a link further down in the article.

I posted the show on YouTube, in six parts. One part featured one of my co-hosts, Deb, going off on the Jason Castro family for accepting (and in some cases, blatantly asking for) frivolous gifts from their fans, out of their own pockets. His mother, Betsy, has gone as far as to threaten teenagers for making homemade fan shirts with his likeness on them. To sell to a few friends from school. Hey, every penny counts, right?

Anyway, Deb's rant is love. Listen to it here.

It only took a group of Jason's most rabid fans a couple of hours to find the video and to start a flame attack of their own. They must have Google alerts set up for the guy, because they came fast and furious. They defended him, with nothing to back up their case, as usual.

That was Part 3. Remember this for later.

Part 5 is also interesting, because one of the tags was Carly Smithson. Why? Have a listen, and go about 2 minutes and 45 seconds in. Well, again, Carly's crazed fans came in to the comments section with NO regard for Amanda, and started crying like a bunch of little bitches about a fan's question. I mean, who cares? Don't people have a right to not like someone? Lighten up, folks.

Here's the ass kicker, though. Here's a list of the number of page views. It's been about 70 hours since I've posted them:

Part 1: 84
Part 2: 65
Part 3: 310
Part 4: 55
Part 5: 224
Part 6: 56

Do you see what I mean? These people didn't even want to hear Amanda. They're just on watch to see if anyone dare say anything negative about some hacks who care nothing about them (but I'm sure they love what's in their fans' wallets).

L O S E R S


This article is dedicated to Smartie. You can listen to the show (and catch the ridiculous fan comments), starting with Part 1.

Recommended Site Of The Week: Idletard

Are you a fan of American Idol? Better yet, are you a fan of American Idol who is frightened of other American Idol fans?

Then you're a lot like me. As disgusted as I am by the herds of unhappily married, middle-age moms who obsess to a sometimes criminal degree over singers in their teens and twenties, there is someone else ten times more disgusted...and in response, started a wonderful, wonderful site called Idletard. It got so real for some people that someone tried (without permanent success) to take the site down.

Go ahead, click. You know you want to. ;)
