12. I suppose Aiken could conduct a make out session on stage before he sings.

Then Aiken can prove his sexuality by kissing women onstage.

26. Kissing isn't good enough...

I think he should stage live intercourse on the altar with multiple women. Including females of the choir.

They want proof? Give it to them.

13. Of course they will!

Just like that Fonzi scene that I can barely remember-- I know my girlfriend is a virgin because she told me so and virgins don't lie.

Hmmm...:eyes:...will it be simulcast, or as an extra feature on the DVD?

10. Hook him up to electrodes at the altar and show him gay porn to prove his sexuality!

If there is no movement of his Manhood, the concert can proceed. If there is any type of detectable reaction in his trousers, burn him. Burn him, I say, and send him to hell right there in front of the gentle American Jesus, who after all did not create Adam and Steve.

11. Damn, this is funny.

"In the note, the pastor avoided the gay issue, declaring Aiken was a Christian who didn't "drink, smoke, swear or womanise ".

Um, yeah, maybe he doesn't womanise because...

And this,

"Then, fans threatened to file a class action suit against the singer if it was proven he was gay."

My world, it is shaken! I shall sue!

31. I wonder how the fans are going to "prove" he's gay and how they can "prove" they are fans.

If they file a class-action suit against him, and they somehow "prove" he's gay (based on the testimony of John Paulus?), will they get some kind of "settlement" from him? Will he have to re-title his first album? And how will the plaintiffs in the caise "prove" that they are his fans? Is there some kind of ID card?

19. You know what....

I used to listen to Christian Metal: Stryper, White Cross, Barren Cross, Bride and several others, simple because I liked their sound, I am immune to he dogma so it never rubbed off on me.

Even though Clay Aiken is Gay (IMO) I do not think anyone in the congragation is going to be turned simple from shaking his hand or listening to him sing. So they should just shut up and enjoy the music.

If I was Clay, I would tell them to fuck off, and go sing some where that he would'nt be surrounded by bigots.

35. yes, that would be a good response, and then they would question

his sexuality and probably twist things around saying something like Well he's gay that is why he does not want to perform, that is how twisted their thinking is.

Edited on Tue Oct-09-07 09:38 AM by Az

You know how infectious gay music can be. Elton John has done more to convert righteous and good people to a life of sin than anyone else. And if Clay's music is gay.... well lets just say there will be a lot of toe tapping in the bathrooms after that event.

in a negative light. They also put Clay in a horrible position, because the right thing to do in this case is to tell them to f*ck off.

Yeah, he's gay (IMO), but that has nothing to do with his performing or singing abilities. What a bunch of idiots.

parishioners and the Preacher think it OK to demand assurance that Clay is heterosexual, wouldn't it be fair for him to demand assurance that none of them have had pre-marital sex, none have committed adultery and all are heterosexual?

The pastor has no mention of a wife..no pictures, and there are not even any women pictured on the "contact the pastors/staff" link..

the whole month of october is devoted to marriage

and yes.. you can watch the podcasts too :)
