Posts: 5196 (09/25/08 8:53 AM) And in This Love We'll Drown Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	This segment started out with Clay singing to his child............oh to hear that beautiful voice again...so, so beautiful. Clay took control of this interview, it seems, from the get go. He mentioned being a "gay father" without Diane even asking "the question", and the interview went on from there. This is one very articulate and intelligent man and I'm so happy for him that he no longer has to struggle with this weight any longer. Tomorrow's segment will shed a little more light on his relationship with Jaymes and how they have decided to raise Parker. Very, very nice interview.

I really, really believe that the Clay in this interview is the Clay that people will be able to relate to - funny, charming, intelligent, open and still a bit goofy..how can anyone not adore this man.

Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	With some saying it was a quick interview, I also found it longer than I was expecting. It was a wonderful interview and my emotions were building (unbeknownst to me) and by the end I had to run for the kleenix box! Clay was perfect in that interview and he looked so happy and so good.

Way too flippant and lighthearted for such a serious issue. We go from the agonizing report he describes in People magazine to that? Really, I am almost speechless. editing to correct "to" to "too".

I don't think the overall tone was anything terrible. I would think that the People interview was sometime before the GMA interview was recorded and he probably felt liberated and just free at that point. He said that he wasn't there to make any announcement, just to set the record straight. I don't see why he would have had to be so serious. I'm glad he was happy and smiling because otherwise I wouldn't have felt like coming out was the right thing for him to do, where as now I do.

Am I the only one that has noticed the more nervous he is the more he giggles? What was he supposed to do, sit there and cry?

I thought it was nerves. We've seen this before in many interviews through the years. The giggling is a nervous impulse. The interview was very good. He said some important things IMO, one of which was his lack of faith at society's acceptance of him which I see was a legitimate concern given the mixed reactions to his news.

If that was his honest reaction- then yes. Not this glossed over version of what we have been lead to believe was a very painful journey for him etc etc. And again he/they are using Parker to manipulate the message and I am quite uncomfortable with that.

But I still believe he is a good person under all that. I can't believe some people are going to walk away over this. Unbelievable....

Posts: 136 (09/25/08 9:27 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Redbay, that interview doesn't negate the journey. He's already been through the emotions and has arrived at self-acceptance. It may be hard for the rest of us to understand where he is coming from because we are not there yet.

I cant believe it either...it confuses why people are walking away after all these years. ANYWAY, back on subject before i'm yelled at...

Another dead giveaway, was that he started ahead of Diane, like he had to get stuff out! Thanks for the recaps! This was a very revealing interview, I think! Not nearely as relaxed as he looks!

I am having a hard time with this whole thing (and to be specific, mostly about being lied to) and I felt his attitude and laughing was wrong. Please don't say the nervous thing.....I know that (or at least I think I know that....don't know if I ever knew this man) but this was a serious interview about a serious subject. Laughing about telling his mom....sorry, not funny. Have to go to work.

He already cried about it - when he told his mom, when he told Brett, and any other time we don't know about it. I think he is saying he has come to terms with everything himself. He cried it all out already. He is out and proud now. No more tears.
