If you are not hateful, an abuser, or use fowl language. And you are kind, generous, and here is a strange one RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE....well it is automatically assumed that you must be gay. Mr. Aiken has answered this question before and said no. So must he ba asked at every interview if he is or not. Would a great deal of people be disappointed if he were....sure, because to have grown up and raised in a Southern Babtist church, you can say that we are against this type of behavior and life style. so for now, to refresh your memory, he has answered this question over and over about his sexual oreintation and the answer was no. So grow up and get over it and move on with your life.

Clay has said "no." Early on. And not sell out the State Fair? I don't think so.

I am a member of the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra and this concert is news to me. Could the reporter of this story mean the NC Symphony Orchestra?

The reason comments have to be approved is because people know he's going to get some strange thoughts expressed about him. He's certainly got a strange persona. As for his "orientation" the fact that he never answers questions posed by media personnel with a "no" should say all that needs to be said.

Think about it, if you were not gay and somebody asked you about your preferences, how hard would it be to say no?
