Lindsay Lohan and Clay Aiken Come Out

I like to think I’m a very open person, I treat others as they come, and I don’t care very much what their sexual preferences are, but I do care when people live a lie which only hurts them more in the long run.

So this morning seeing the news that both Lindsay Lohan and Clay Aiken have finally come out seems like such great news for them. All that angst of covering up their private lives must now be like a weight off their shoulders.

Imagine being so afraid of coming out because your fans, or family might be annoyed and reject you. On the other hand I can totally understand the need of these people to protect their secrets, after all when you’re a celebrity the press can be merciless.

So I’d like to wish both Lindsay Lohan and Clay Aiken the very best for their futures. I sincerely hope that Lindsay and her partner do take a stand because they’ll be great role models for other young women who are gay.

Clay Aiken having a son through medical intervention with a good friend is obviously going to settle him and allow him to ground his career and private life, and I think is the right decision to come out now. His son and all the people in Clay’s life need to know this important detail, and now they can support him properly as he deserves.
