Both Clay Aiken and Lindsay Lohan came out of the closet this week confirming what we have all known for a very long time now...that they are gay.

Aiken will appear on the cover of "People" magazine this Friday with the headline "Yes, I'm Gay!"

The 29-year-old former American Idol runner-up, multiplatinum recording artist and Broadway star credits his son, conceived by in-vitro fertilization with friend and producer Jaymes Foster, with making him realize that he could no longer hide his homosexuality from the world.

“It was the first decision I made as a father,” Aiken told the magazine, which arrives on newsstands Friday. “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that.”

LiLo casually told the co-host of the syndicated radio program “Loveline” on Monday that she’s been dating the 31-year-old DJ Samantha Ronson. The pair have appeared in public and been photographed together for but have never publicly commented about the extent of their relationship.

“You guys, you and Samantha, have been going out for how long now?” DJ Ted Stryker asked. “Like two years, one year, five months, two months?”

“For a very long time,” Lohan said after laughing.

Hollywood should change their slogan to "A Gay Old Time!"
