Group Responds To Clay Aiken Announcement
Reaction From Group
With the announcement on the cover of People Magazine that he is gay, Broadway Spamalot star Clay Aiken has joined a select group of same-sex celebrity families. In response to Clay’s announcement comes this message from Jennifer Chrisler, Executive Director for the Family Equality Council.
“”Much like Rosie O’Donnell, the announcement that Clay Aiken is gay reinforces a simple reality: the American public can no longer say it does not know a gay or lesbian parent. Clay Aiken’s desire to raise a child in an open and honest manner will make his life, and his son’s, all the better. We hope he and his son find all the happiness they deserve, and the Family Equality Council will work toward the day that Clay and Parker Foster Aiken can enjoy the same rights as other American families.”
