Kathy Griffin Becomes a Claymate

 Kathy Griffin and Clay Aiken

Kathy Griffin has a newfound respect for former American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken after he decided to come out of the closet, the comedienne says in a new interview.

"Well, I think it's really great that he came out," Griffin told the Windy City Times. "The picture of him holding the baby is such a powerful image because gay adoption is such a hot issue. He came out at a relatively young age. I very much applaud him for coming out at this time. He's still facing the people on Broadway every night. He's being honest with himself and his kid, and I think it's great. Doesn't mean that I am not going to make fun of him for the rest of my life, but I still think he's great."

Griffin says she still have one issue with Gayken, though: "I am still hurt that I was not asked to be the babymomma. I am going to have to ask my own inner Clay on how to get over that."

2. gays and lesbians make great parents
It doesn't matter that his son isn't adopted, any image of a gay man as a loving parent helps people understand that gay adoption is not a bad thing. But I agree that Kathy has always been a Claymate, she's said many times that she's a fan. She frequently jokes about celebs she is a fan of.

3. Don't be ridiculous
Respect and this ugly witch don't go together. :(  
 
Sure, she always liked Clay Aiken :roll - as the target of her nasty insults that only stupid people can mistake for humor.

4. Amen, DBR
How anybody can claim to be pro-gay while using the word as a sneer like a bratty grade-schooler might (Gaiken???) amazes me. As for being a new recruit in Aiken's Army--forget it, Kathy: you're 4F.  
 
Has anybody else noticed that she calls her friends who are gay her "gays" but awards her dogs the dignity of using their names?

5. I love Gayken
I'm glad she finally has something nice to say about him. 
 
I hope her "gays" follow suit, they treat him like shit.
