David Archuleta speaks about his journey as an LGBTQ member

David Archuleta revealed that his mother quit her church to show her support for her son’s sexuality.

The Crush singer came out as gay in 2014. However, in 2021 he revealed that he was a part of the LGBTQ+ community but still not ”sure of [his] own s*xuality.”

His mother Lupe Marie Mayorga initially had a terribly hard tie accepting her son’s truth because of her Mormon faith. She has slowly come around to be more supportive of her son’s sexuality.

Archuleta told People,

“My mom had a hard time accepting my journey. At first, she said, ‘DA, I love you, but I love God more. And marriage is between a man and a woman.’ And I’m like, ‘Mom, I understand.’ Because that’s what I believed up until a month before coming out.”

The singer added,

“And I said, ‘Mom, I don’t need you to accept everything about my journey immediately. I just want you to be willing to walk along with me in this journey to learn alongside me,’
“And she said, ‘Okay, I can do that.’

David then said,

“So it was really sweet to see her now at the point where she said, ‘I don’t want to leave my family just to follow God.’ She’s like, ‘I can follow God and accept my son.’

David initially felt strange about his sexual discovery

The Little Too Not Over You singer also revealed that he was once asked to balance his sexuality and sexuality which made him quit the Morman Faith. Later his mother did the same.

The I’m Yours singer said,

“My mom said, ‘I’m going to step away from the church.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ And she just said, ‘If you’re going to hell, we’re all going to hell together,’ ”
”She just kind of said it in a funny way.”

It was a different feeling altogether for David when he started feeling he was different. He recalled feeling about his identity and praying for it to change before feeling a “flow of love and peace”.

He told the magazine,

“I was still feeling mad until I was 30. I was like, ‘No matter what I do, I don’t know how to change this.’ It got to a point where I was praying and I’m just like, “God, if you are really there, please. I don’t know what else to do. Am I cursed? Am I supposed to be unhappy for the rest of my life?’’

Archuleta added,

“Finally, I felt this huge flow of love and peace, and it just said, “David, you need to stop asking me this because you’re asking me the wrong thing. You’re asking me to change something that I don’t intend to change. I created you this way the way, the way you were supposed to be, and you need to understand this.”
