Following the Aug. 8 birth of his son Parker, Clay Aiken is following through on a promise he made to himself as a new dad: to publicly acknowledge that he’s gay. He decided to confirm what everyone already knew! "It was the first decision I made as a father," Aiken. "I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that." Source
