Clay Aiken – A Cool Dad!

It is always great to read positive things about Clay Aiken. On Monday, the fun website, Your Tango, published an article titled,  “6 Coolest Gay Celebrity Dads. From Neil Patrick Harris to Clay Aiken, these dads aren’t shy about embracing fatherhood.”

Kayda Norman, the writer of the article said the following about Clay:

Clay Aiken. Though the former American Idol contestant may not have been quite as vocal about fatherhood as others on this list, the birth of his son did give him courage to come out of the closet.

“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,” Clay said (via People.com), about a month after his son was born.

And rather than go the route of adoption or surrogate, the singer and his good friend Jaymes Foster used artificial insemination to bring about son Parker Foster Aiken. More than anything, Clay strives to raise his son in a loving environment, which, in our opinion, makes him one of the coolest dads out there.

Thank you, Kayda for writing an article that is both accurate and respectful.  Be sure and visit the site to read then entire article and be sure and leave a comment to let Kayda know you appreciate her article.  Cool Dads
