Clay Aiken reflected on how his coming out in 2008 led to a significant loss of fans and ticket sales, contrasting it with today's acceptance of LGBTQ+ artists.
"The first four months that I was in, the show was selling out, standing room only... the ticket sales dropped. Spamalot ended up closing a few months after that."
"A lot of people who come out now end up having boosts in popularity because of it... it's the opposite of what happened when I came out."
"But it means that there's progress and it means that as a country, we're headed in the right direction."
