Conceded, he may have *effeminate* traits... But, elementary logic easily tells us that:
Effeminacy does not equate to Homosexuality. To wit (operative words being *non-conformance* vs *attraction*),

Effeminacy -> non-conformance to traditional masculine traits and behaviors
Homosexuality -> a sexual attraction to (or sexual relations with) persons of the same sex

"One thing I've found of people in the public eye, either you're a womanizer or you've got to be gay. Since I'm neither one of those, people are completely concerned about me." -Clay Aiken

"It's about being accountable to myself and making sure that I maintain principles and values and don't compromise myself inorder to be what society wants to be a popstar, what people think a popstar is..." -Clay Aiken

Folks, FYI, he has high set of principles and convictions... He was raised in a spiritual way (remember him being a Southern Baptist - a congregation having strict moral standards).

Guess what: he is not a womanizer, does not drink neither smoke and other *stereotype pop image* what-have-you. BUT him following good moral standards make him gay? Come on!
