Beautiful family, Mary. It has been a while since you posted. You are always missed when you are not here.
Shirley - I have a lot of negative feelings as well. I have never been one to really lust after Clay or think about him THAT WAY, but it does bother me that he is gay. I really do love his voice and will continue to buy his CDs and go to his concerts, but there is something missing now.
I really am angry that I defended him, even when my gut told me he sure seemed gay! Primarily because I don't like to stereotype people, and I didn't want to judge him on the way seemed, since he had repeatedly told us he was like that because he was raised by a bunch of women. His Christian beliefs I felt kept him from going that route, and I wanted to support him. So, yes, I did defend him repeatedly and he made me really angry when people would say "Clay Gayken". BECAUSE HE SAID HE WASN'T. He says now he didn't mean to lie to us. Yes he did. He has known for 4 years?
Ye, it is his business what his lifestyle choices are, not ours, but then he gets a big cover on People and brings his kid on. He is the one who put his sexuality out there in big letters. Now we have to listen to every radio station and media outlet make comments like "How shocking. LIke we didn't already know that".
Whew. Said more than I expected. It is scary to say these things because, nowadays, if you don't think homosexuality is okay, then something is wrong with you. So many people act like it shouldn't be an issue. Well, I hate the sin but love the sinner, as we are told to, and I am very aware that I am a sinner in many ways as well. Gluttony, anybody? That is one of my big crutches. Still, it saddens me deeply that he has gone this route.
I hope you all still love me.
