After having a child with his producer, Clay Aiken decided he will not teach his kid to lie or hide things.  So Daddy is on the cover of PEOPLE this week, telling us, He’s Gay.

The proud father is on the cover with his newborn, Parker. Inside, he tells People

“Yes, I’m gay. I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.”

I wish nothing but love and happiness for the family.

Thank you Just Jared for the cover
