David Archuleta Talks Dating Guys, New Music & Embracing His Queerness

#DavidArchuleta made headlines when he came out last year. The singer is chatting with our Ricky Cornish on his journey out of the closet, struggling with his faith, and why it's important for him to finally be himself.

I'm 65. I came out one person at a time over ten years. Whenever I hear someone talk about coming out the pain and doubt and lack of love, I am grateful for them sharing their experience. Thank you. Love is the answer.

I have met David in person and he signed my CD to one of his albums. He is such a caring, friendly and humble person. I just love his songs and videos. He is so awesome!!!!

I’ve seen David in a small concert (Dallas, 2021 Christmas) and have to admit, he is wonderful, so much talent, such humbleness, and his voice… perfection! I am waiting for whatever he does next with anticipation!

Thanks for this great interview! I’m a longtime fan of David Archuleta’s, and to see him so comfortable in his own skin and embracing his whole authentic self is music to my ears, no pun intended, lol. And Faith in Me is pure 🔥!

I love this kid. He is just amazing in every way

[ShaneShipman]

Thank you for this interview! I've been so worried he's had some rough times. I know today wasn't easy. This lets me worry a little less. I can see he is working through this. THANK YOU.

Well done know the the LDS faith well. This isn't just a case of learning how to be true to yourself but having to redefine all that you know and very well done for being brave and free to embrace life as you now know it

I'm lds women. I don't judge people how they live their life's. I'm proud 👏 of him being honest 👏 with himself. I believe 🙏 God wants us to be happy human beings!!! as long as David is happy. That's all that matters.

The mormon church leveraged him and used him for his talent. Now that he is out they are begging him to suppress his feelings and "get him a nice girl." So glad he is escaping and being able to be himself.

I saw you last Xmas in SLC concert. Your songs were beautiful and your thoughts and words in between were so emotional.

[GregRBaird]

Love is love. Sin is the absence of love.
