		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Finally, I am curious, why out of the entire article and interview I gave would you only choose to latch onto this one point regarding the existence of a video and act as if that is the most important point when it is clearly not and when it does not affect the gist, key points or contention of the interview I gave? The hiding by artists of their sexuality and society’s reaction to artists being gay are the key points.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Allen,

thanks for speaking your truth and opinion. I am curious, how did you conclude so conclusively that there is no video of Clay Aiken from a gay dating site? Is that because Clay Aiken denied it the same way he denied he was gay for 29 years?

Nonetheless, you also concluded that my source for my reference to a sexually suggestive video of Clay Aiken comes from the Enquirer. You are wrong. My source is Newsweek: http://www.newsweek.com/id/160689 

That video was also referenced again yesterday by MSN.com so it seems various sources cite it as true. If you have evidence that this video never existed then I humbly suggest you contact these reporters and journalists as well - MSN, Newsweek, etc. Incidentally, the reporter from Newsweek sat down and interviewed Clay Aiken.  

At the end of the day, even if all of the reporters got it wrong, that doesn&#039;t change the key point: Clay Aiken hid his sexuality from the public for 29 years (and from his mother for 25 years) and when he finally admitted he is gay to the public, he said something very weird: &quot;It was the first decision I made as a father...I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things. I wasn&#039;t raised that way.&quot; And yet he did hide and he hid from his mother who I am guessing raised him and he he hid from the public.

Finally, I am curious, why out of the entire article and interview I gave would you only choose to latch onto this one point regarding the existence of a video and act as if that is the most important point when it is clearly not and when it does not affect the gist, key points or contention of the interview  I gave? The hiding by artists of their sexuality and society&#039;s reaction to artists being gay are the key points.

All the best,
Patrick]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shame on Patrick Wanis for taking a tabloid rumor and repeating it as if it were a fact. There was never a video of Clay Aiken from a dating site.
