Clay Aiken is at the center of more questions surrounding his sexuality after parishioners at a Wichita, Kansas church where he is set to perform a Christmas concert demanded assurances the singer isn’t gay.

According to The National Enquirer: Elders at the The Central Christian Church want to make sure the singer is heterosexual before ok’ing for him to perform before their congregation on November 26. controversy reached a fever pitch shortly after the performance was announced, and the executive pastor Mark Posson felt compelled to send a letter to concerned elders.

“Pastor Posson thought it was in the church’s best interest to circulate a letter.”

Posson’s letter claimed Clay “was a Christian who didn’t “drink, smoke, swear or womanize.”

The pastor made no mention of Clay’s alleged homosexuality.
