Why Does It Matter?

As many of you are now aware of, Clay has been the subject of many tabloid gay allegations in recent months. The big, bad news corporation will do anything to make you believe that it's bad.

Although I don't buy any of the stories being passed around by tabloids, maybe we can learn from this. Why should Clay's sexuality be our business? Why should this quality change the real reasons we love Clay Aiken -- his talent and his affection for people with disabilities?

The answer to these questions are effectively answered in a fantastic essay from Terrie Rosas who credits Clay for bringing her back to reality after being diagnoised with cancer in May 2003.
