- David Archuleta got tearful on stage during the final show of his The More the Merrier Christmas Tour on December 23, in Chandler, Arizona. He opened up about living in the closet, having a faith crisis, being engaged three times, and when he considered ending it all (TW).
"I didn't want to be bad and I was feeling like I was a bad person just for even being."

_Beautiful Voice! David has a beautiful soul. ♥️ _*_So proud of him and grateful that he shared his truth with us._*_ Wish him many blessings and success in the future!_ 🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🥰
You broke me on this. I can remember reading something my son wrote in his teens, about why he was like this and what had he ever done wrong to God. You were not bad. You can still be you & have God in your life if you want. You are enough and always will be. This is why my son doesn’t have anything to do with religion.❤️🌹
David is as God intended him to be. Echoing…wishing him many blessings and much success.❤
God wants us all to turn away from sin and follow Him and He will do the changing in us but we have to be willing.
@@tjc1121 He is not sinning. And he was willing. For years. Is he supposed to wait his entire life until he dies to be able to live his life? That’s not the loving God I believe in. Look at all the trauma people suffer from being told they don’t believe enough, have enough faith, that somehow it was their fault change didn’t happen. This is why people turn away from religion. If you think stating that help bring people to God, you are very wrong. He is the way God made him. There is nothing wrong with him. But there is something wrong with people who believe as you do. Maybe God created him to teach you how to be a better Christen. It’s beliefs like yours that can/does cause suicide.
@georgiadavis670 you are looking at this life which is temporal but not where his soul will go for all eternity. Jesus is called the Savior of the World for a reason. He came to save us from the consequence of our sin which is separation from a Holy God. This place is a place of torment and us called hell. There are many people in this place who would give anything to have someone warn them and wish they had listened. The loving thing to do is too warn people about where they are heading so that they can turn away from it.
@@tjc1121 It is not a loving thing to do. I know of no one who is gay who thinks, thank God someone told me what they perceive is wrong. Maybe if you’re informing someone who is not aware of God. But David is well aware of God. Christians over & over stating something is wrong in their belief is not informing, helpful or welcoming. It’s hurtful. It causes trauma. Would you want to hear over & over about a perceived wrong? It becomes abusive. It is not helpful. It is 100% driving people away from God. It is not a choice. He is made that way and I don’t know how much clearer people can be in telling all the damage it does. Leave them alone. Gay people don’t go to hell. It’s only religious belief based on a book that as such can have many interpretations. There are going to be alot of very surprised people who find out “ their” belief wasn’t right.
David never allow others to change who you are. For those that don't accept you are not supposed to be in your life. Accepting yourself and being yourself will bring those that you deserve in life who will accept you. Your an amazing person full of talent, full of love, and you bring joy to us in your singing. Stay who you are David, because we do love you the way you are.
I was there, near front and center, AWESOME CONCERT! David is an excellent performer and a inspiring person. His music has meant alot to me, and carried me through some intense dark times...
This was his 2nd Christmas Concert I have attended in Chandler, I was literally 1st row and center the first year (2021). His manager actually took a photo I brought with me and had him sign it. it's among my most treasured things, along with a signed copy of his book "CHORDS of STRENGTH" and a signed poster from this concert, and of course every CD he has released except "Forevermore" which is impossible to find due to its rarity. i also like his DVD with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir "Glad Christmas Tidings" I would love to see him perform "The Cat and the Mouse Carol", if he returns to perform at the Chandler Center for the Arts again this year. My biggest regret was missing the opportunity to be at the "meet & greet" before the show. I wish I could shake his hand and tell him what his music and message has meant to me!
A very special young man.
It hurts me to tears to know LGBTQ people have to suffer for who we are naturally meant to be.
It’s real I’ve been through such suffering for who I am most don’t even know that it harms us when they try to attack us and target us
One never knows the direct impact they may have on those who are listening, observing and identifying with those who are struggling with many of life's challenges. David is an example of an authentic and talented individual who bears his soul to those who will listen to his journey. We can all learn from one another - especially those who may seem too different to deserve our attention, connection and friendships. What would the world be without the diversity of all of us??? David , Thank You for your courage, honesty and God given gifts delivered to the world - for you are loved "Just the way you are!"
David is telling so many of our stories. Thank you David
This happened to me in my early 20's
@@brianleonard6885 Pat here - Same! From age 11 until I met Stephen at 23 and came out of the darkness masquerading as light into the REAL light of who I am. So happy now, together for 38 years.
David was sharing his authenticity and vulnerability in a beautiful way. I think we need more of this kind of expression, not less. If you think less of David because of him sharing his true self, then you do not deserve his music! God loves all of us, no matter what!!!!
💔 I pray he can find peace with himself, the love and family life he desires & deserves. Been a fan since Idol~love him. It’s been a tough journey for him and he’s so sincere in his efforts to “do the right thing.” God Bless, David.
Again, listening to David touches my heart to my soul. Thank you!❤
I have felt the exact same way- not about being gay, but about being addicted to drugs. Since I couldn't stop the addiction, I thought I could end it by killing myself rather than to remain here and being "bad". So touching. Thank God David landed on his feet and learned to love himself and that God loves him unconditionally. Love never fails. Prayers.
😭 tears every time.
💕
He's making progress every day.
So much the same.
That is beautiful what you said and help me also and you are very beautiful man
Simple. I ❤ David. Just as he is. He’s perfect, just as he is.
So powerful and heart breaking yet hope-filled.
David,
Thank you again for taking some time to share your experience with romantic endeavors where certain compatibilities (orientation and others), contributed to your experience and growth as a person. Thank you for showcasing the internal struggle and thank you for playing a few notes to help us understand that even emotionally it is a tender thing to talk about. As for myself, perhaps similar to you, my crisis of faith was in high school 04-08. Differently from your situation, I managed to spend the first semester of my freshman year in the hospital following emergency heart surgery to replace my aortic arch (a long story). I was mainly catching up on homework, trying to graduate with my class, my family had a strong religious background in the LDS church as well, I was still recovering physically exempt from contact sports and working through the psychological damage of two traumatic brain injuries from the same accident that required heart surgery. I didn't date much, I knew I was gay, and it never really felt honest to date women. My former step sibling was homophobic and so was the religion as the time. After I watched the movie 300, it was like a confirmation light bulb turned on and I hated it. Despite being "a miracle" and "your here for a reason", it took me ten years until 2014 for me to spiritually exhaust the Book of Mormon, the Bible, the Friend, the Ensign, and MANY HOURS OF EXTENSIVE RESEARCH into people coming out -- the "It Gets Better Campaign" was a beacon of hope as was other Gay CZcamsrs ~Nick A Laws (sorry about the Lush reference), etc. I finally went to university, and met some people that brought infinitely more compassion and understanding to my life than I had ever known, but there was also a lot of challenges, being approached by someone looking to do adult things with another inexperienced freshly out gay guy with severe physical and religious traumas. The fledgling experience I had in university most people have in their teens. It was a rather dark time for me... I was also rather preoccupied with leadership positions in the student organization I was assisting with -- I met someone who needed an obvious hug, it was the Pulse Memorial, and I spent two years dating this man until we decided to get married in my grandparents living room. I may not have had three engagements, but I am getting a divorce for reasons beyond the scope of this comment; however, I believe that love languages and communication are essential tools for finding compatibility. Best wishes David, someday I hope you find the relationship you are looking for.
His speaking voice is so soothing
Just a breath of fresh air ❤️🌈❤️

David is such a genuine and positive person who dedicated his life to the church. Too bad the church couldn't be there when he needed them most. I hope the church changes its position as so many struggle with faith and this issue which is not a choice. No one would choose this difficult path. Imagine losing him over this. Go David go. Be yourself, think positive, give to others, never give up. In a confused and troubled world, we need you. 😊 dont judge if you haven worn those shoes.
God made you just the way you should be to serve others. And you are different. You are the same an millions of us. The only ones "different" are those who don't accept people for who they are.
Love you David Archie and so does Jesus!
sex is such a small part of who we are as humans.
I don't want to lose you David
Amen 🎉 ❤ Bravo 👏 Facts
I love you
💖
The world is not perfect David sometimes in life we don't even know why things happen for a reason but they just happened because they are meant to happen without us just expecting it Felician really like in bracelet soaps no matter what part of the lgbtq straight we all live in this world and everyone deserves to be happy no matter the sex or gender everyone deserves love everyone there supposed to be happy everyone deserves to find a reason in their life and sometimes we just need people to accept who we are no matter what because we are not going to be in this world forever
I'm so glad he broke free from the church. 👍🙂
You can be you ,it's the people that need to change their ways and their way of thinking , not God he loves all is children ❤️
It's not religion either the people if you're not accepted in the church or the ward you want to go to another one where you can be you. .Remember, there's just human and it's a building.
Rebuke spirit of confusion and homosexuality in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏
No one, has to suffer like this. Everyone is torn. Gay people are no different from anyone else. I like David very much but this constant need for approval from all humans is getting very old. David, use your talent and be very, very grateful for the success you have already achieved. But do not expect the rest of the world to agree with you, ALL of the time. Because it will never happen. No human deserves this kind of acceptance. It just isn't possible.
Sera muy emotivo y todo pero no deja de contradecir las leyes De Dios no s puede servir a dos Amós ! No se debe repudiar a las personas pero si sus malos actos Dios no se equivocan ni se equivocó en su creación el objetivo del maligno es pervertir al mundo y lo está logrando
Señora, cálmese
Hahahahahha
So this is why there was a major walkout during his Christmas concert. David, please kindly save all of this for the psychiatrist's office couch or
the daytime talk show circuit. The audience paid to hear you sing. They didn't pay to see you cry. Even the late Tommy Page knew better.
no the audience pay to hear him sing and talk. if people wanted to just hear him sing, they'd listen to the studio version of his song. anyone who has went to david concert knows, he always talks about his personal life. lol.
Oh please, you don’t know or care about this man or else you’d know just how intertwined his personal life has become with his music. He nearly lost the ability to speak or sing at all after a vocal cord hemorrhage early 2022. Him being able to speak and sing at all is incredible. Fans would respect and allow him that space to congregate and let him speak to us. He’s not a big star and many of us have been around for well over a decade now.
If he were straight and had a wife and kids, would you want him to just shut up and sing if he wanted to talk about his life with his family? If he wanted to talk about his faith and how it led him to be the man that he is, should he just save it for church? If you only want an artist's music and don't want to know about their lives, buy the record and leave the shows for the people who want a connection with the person. He's sharing himself with his audience, if you don't want that then STFU and go away.
Delete your account.
Shame on you. Listen to what he is saying. He is perfect. YOU are not. Do better, listen, love, be nice, be kind, just like David. Do better.
Great testimony David
❤❤❤
