Last week, Clay Aiken was a guest co-host on the “Regis and Kelly” show, filling in for Regis Philbin with regular co-host Kelly Ripa. During an interview with someone, he leans over and covers Kelly’s mouth, to which she replied “I don’t know where those hands have been, honey.”

Apparently, that was a cry for Rosie O’Donnell to defend homosexuality.

What?

The issue everyone is seeing is this: Kelly had a gay guy touch her mouth and now she’s homophobic against Kelly just doesn’t like being touched in the face by a stranger, has kids, and doesn’t want to get them sick.

What they SHOULD be seeing is this: In every interview he’s ever been on, give or take one or two, the host asks about his sexuality, and that if he is indeed gay, why hold back? Why not just get it out in the open? Not once has he ever admitted what his sexual preference is, whether it be men, women, or both.

However, in the interest to show the whole world she is the Queen of queens, Rosie O’Donnell opens her fat mouth and decided to stick up for Clay, which truly is a noble cause. However, she didn’t stop to think for a second about how he never actually came out of the closet.

I was listening to all the FM talk shows Wednesday, and only at the end of the last show of the day did someone - a caller, of course - finally brought this up. I had been fuming about how this whole debacle was blown out of proportion because of Rosie’s stupidity and not over the actual act of what happened, but caller after caller and host after host went on and on about Kelly is dumb or Rosie is the devil. It was nice to finally hear that one caller get through, bringing up the whole “Wait, she outed Clay?” comment.

See, if Rosie was defending Clay for just being a silly person and just trying to have a little bit of fun, fine. If Kelly is truly a germaphobe like she claims to be, or if she was just offended that a stranger put his hands on her face like that, then that’s good by me.

But let’s say Clay is straight (I know, that’s a stretch, but follow along here). Here is Rosie O’Fucking Donnell outing Clay “Is Not Gay” Aiken on national television, and now on Page Six and websites like TMZ. If he is straight (haha), then let’s face it…

He’s gay now.
