David archuleta

[Ponyhoff]

Getting kicked out of his church has nothing to do with whether he's already had sex or not. Any guy who is a Mormon could be kicked out for having sex with another guy. That doesn't then mean they obviously have had sex with men but are just being dishonest about it to avoid being kicked out. It could also just be that... They aren't having sex with men - exactly like David himself has said.

One has nothing to do with the other. Virgins exists - especially in the church. And David claims to be saving himself for marriage. It's pretty common among religious people.

Ah, he pretty much confirmed much of this in his interview...he carried the weight of this secret for a long time and he considered suicide..so no, I'm not projecting at all. And no, this isn't my story. I had sex with a guy when I was 14, had my first boyfriend when I was 17, came out to my parents when I was 18, and have always been up front about who I am. I'm not projecting at all.

ya no matter what gender a person is, each person’s sex life is his/her own business. like… is david supposed to share how much he jacks off to porn everyday? how much gay porn over straight porn? I just hope people learn to have respect to other people Being LGBTQIA+ doesn’t give others the right to know everything about someone.

Ah...when they talk about it on national television they are giving up a piece of their privacy. He told the world that he was addicted to porn at once. Not sure where you are coming up with this scenario about how the world is bursting down his privacy door.

 

[Ponyhoff]

Yes...I hate how David has opened up about his mental struggles and all anyone here cares about is when he is going to have sex with a man. It's disappointing how hung up everyone here is getting about his own personal decisions. Like his sex life is really none of our business.

I know...we should really be talking about his mental struggles on a board that specializes in discussing large male penises. Shame on us.

 

[Ponyhoff]

David basically admited having suicidal thoughts, because of his attraction to men. Who cares if he's had gay sex or not already? I just hope he gets all the experiences and all the sex he wants, either before and/or after getting married. His personal life is his own business.

He's doing a lot for the LGBTQIA+ community by coming out publicly and sharing his experiences with being queer and religious, + encouraging others to the same...

Yes...oh..and don't forget that he came out exactly at the same time that he is promoting a new album. Each piece of news on him right now mentions his new album. He was a has-been and now people are talking about him again. Oh, and he has a new album out.

Bitter bitch much? Must life a sad life. I pity you.

 

[SASd]

Just ignore the attention seeker. You know who that is.

Never understood people who want to tear others down. Ponyoff is just a spiteful person who clearly has nothing better to do.

Finally got around to watching the Nightline interview, and here's what I got from it: I support him on his journey, but he over-complicates things. He came out as gay then convinced himself he was bi. Then dated only women but wasn't attracted to any of the women he dated. He's either gay or asexual. Based on what he said in the interview, it's pretty obvious that he isn't attracted to women.

My bad, I forgot that common decency is not a thing around here. Silly me.

I'm not projecting at all.

What David confirmed in the interview was that he already told his Church counselors years ago. He also told his family years ago. And he was also open about his sexuality to his most recent girlfriend.

He's sharing within his own community what he knows as best as he understands it, as he comes to learn about his own sexuality.

The only thing new is him now being public about it - but fans aren't owed details of his personal life. So your accusations of him being dishonest are a bit far reaching.

And he's confirmed several times that he believes in saving himself for marriage, so your claim that he "obviously" has been having sex with men is false. He's only discussing his sexuality - not his sex life. These are not the same thing.

 

[philerup]

Yay! I'm happy for him, I just found out and came here. But also, duh, boy. But also I hate that it's "detectable" or we suspect and pressure people to come out.

Yeah. My take from the interview was that he came out as gay in 2014 (to friends/family), but was still super ashamed about it. So he convinced himself that he was bisexual as a way of avoiding his same sex attractions. He then goes on to start dating women, only to discover that surprise, surprise, he's not actually attracted to any of the women that he's dating. Still trying to run away from the fact that he's attracted to guys, he convinces himself that his lack of attraction to women means that he's asexual.

From the interview, it certainly sounded like he's simply gay--not bisexual nor asexual. Especially when he talked about how he would be checking out guys instead of paying attention to his own girlfriend when they would be on a date. I hate to be invalidating his claims about his sexuality, it's just that from what I heard in the interview, he's attracted to guys more than anything. Convincing himself that he's bisexual and/or asexual genuinely sounded like it was a way of coping with his embarrassment about being attracted to guys.

Looks like he's still in that denial phase that's why he's still unsure of his sexuality. He'll figure it out soon.

[Lover man]

It would be awesome if he did a workout in a tank or even better shirtless

 

[hadeanal]

He's really looking better than ever

 

[philerup]

Oh! He admitted considering suicide rather than feel like "a mistake in gods eyes". Religion is so tragic how it warps people's minds. Thank you for being honest, I wasn't expecting that admission. He smiles even when he's in pain and I expected him to omit dark truths.

 

[hadeanal]

I wonder how his family is dealing with all this. He mentioned he came out as gay to his close family in 2014. More recently though he had a girlfriend and felt bad for noticing men more than he noticed her. And then mentioned in the last couple months he was grieving and had to accept that his sexuality is something he isn't going to be able to change.

I know from Jennette McCurdy's podcast that he isn't any close to his father anymore, because he was abusive and manipulating, but they are still in touch. I wonder if he's been/being compelled by his church or family to date women preferably, since he identifies as bisexual (or at least says so/thinks so; it can be confusing if you don't have experiences), in order to suppress his attraction to men. If so, coming out publicly now feels even more important.

The one member of his family I kept thinking about was his father... he didn't really say who he was close to. I knew he and his dad were real close at one point though maybe that closeness was out of fear?
