Clay appears on the cover of the latest People issue with his new son, with a headline that reads, "Yes, I'm Gay." The cover also features a quote from Clay stating, "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things."

People magazine yesterday would only confirm that Clay and his son, PARKER FOSTER AIKEN, are featured in the issue hitting newsstands today. The magazine's website will post the story with the former American Idol runner-up at seven Eastern time this morning. Aiken has also spoken with ABC's DIANE SAWYER for an interview airing later this week on Good Morning America.

Clay and record producer JAYMES FOSTER welcomed Parker earlier this year. The baby was conceived via in vitro fertilization.
