Some of his identity struggles do seem tied to religion, public perception and insecurities. While in general it’s appropriate to just refer to folks as “queer” if they’re not particularly tied to an identity. Ultimately, though, we cannot determine anyone’s dimensions, identity or sexual journeys, where someone is in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. And the “gay” vs “bi” convo is tired.

I generally agree. I did not grow up in the LDS, my family was not crazy religious, and it was not easy for me. I give him kudos for trying to be an authentic person, have a career, and share very personal things about himself that we are not entitled to know about. I am actually pretty impressed with his self confidence the past year. Even more impressed that he has taken the road of high risk. There is money in the Christian music market, not as much as mainstream, but there is money. Just like us gays, Christians are very loyal and steadfast consumers. Particularly the types I think that would normally be drawn to David. He is knowingly confronting a group with himself and his story knowing full well there will be outright rejection from at least a portion of his fanbase, could be a sizeable portion. Yet he plows ahead. The boy has a big set of balls. <3

He just recently said in one of his press tour podcast interviews that he "used to" call himself bisexual but has settled on queer for now, but he's also been using gay more frequently as of late. He's made his journey and identity his public persona and he's stated he's still learning and growing. It's not a stretch to see that he's got a lot to unpack here.

I’m aware of all of this. But one still has to be careful. Not every struggle with identity has to do with religion or insecurities. A lot of people contend with fluidity or questioning or contradictions or paraphiliacs or hyper-sexuality or lack of sexual libido that can make identities “complicated”. Some people are fine with a “gay” identity even if they’re not entirely homosexual or don’t live entirely homo lifestyles. Some people still want to be viewed as “straight” despite having queer dimensions. Some inherently homosexual people never really embrace being seen as “gay”. While preferences, lifestyle, sexual libido, ego, love, the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum are varied and individual. So, while it’s apparent his family and religion and fame has had a lot to do with being closeted and his identity wishy-washy-ness, I don’t think it’s fair to whittle it all down to that. Those things don’t make up everyone’s struggles and journeys, even religious people.

Although it has little to do with what I was talking about, I do give him props for not only “coming out” but being legit open about his struggles and refusing to exude queer insecurities and refusing to adhere to the desires of the biggest percentage of his fans. Even many out public figures who don’t have large Christian followings still seem to struggle with queer insecurities or still seem desperate for “straight’ world” validation. While he doesn’t come off as if he’s using his queerness or queers in general for money or a career boost. He has also stood up for queer rights and protection. Once again, things even many out public figures don’t put much focus on because of their insecurities, struggles with their dimensions/sense of self, wanting to protect their careers, etc. The industry is full of willing sellouts and self-interested.

The dialogue in this thread has been eye-opening for me. Watching David has been like watching a mirror, but now he's gone much farther than I have. (I'm 35, still an active member of a Pentecostal organization [UPCI] after 20 years, never experimented with guys or girls. Well-known in the org. for music, though things were sometimes rough, as I've always been open about my attraction to men, but I've learned to speak tactfully about it.)

Idk what I'm doing. Almost my entire social circle, which is quite large, is church folk. Lovely ppl, very little drama, but very few really get me. My close friends are all married parents; I get left out a lot. Idek where to find local gays, lol. Some friends and I did have a gay waiter once recently. I wasn't attracted to him but it was so refreshing just to be around him, knowing he understood this side of me. But I had to play it cool.

We'll see . . . David has been kinda like a gateway for me to see what's possible. But I'm terrified, not of potential judgment from church family, but of culture shock of a new world. I'm a lot more sheltered than David was before he came out.

Hey - some of us care. I thought your post was very thoughtful and I hope your struggle to find comfort in your identity becomes easier. If David is your inspiration - then even better!

Okay. The GIF is cute, but seriously, David isn't gonna be flopping dick or fucking himself with a dildo on cam anytime soon. This is at least a wholesome, G-rated way to pass the time.

 

[10aciousT4NT4L1Z3R]

Damn my sapiosexual ways! Novels and lengthy talks turn me on way more than a man's body; I forget I'm weird and not everyone is like that. Seeing David blossom just makes me wanna blab my business. IDKY.

Feel free to smack dat "Ignore" button on my profile.
