-- one of"American Idol's" famous runner-ups throughout its history -- just came out as being part of the LGBTQ+ community ... which he explains is especially difficult considering his religious upbringing.-- just shared his truth online, posting a heartfelt IG that revealed he identifies as both bisexual and asexual ... even though he says he initially thought he might've been gay.David writes,"I came out in 2014 as gay to my family.
Namely, DA says he wants folks who are devoted to their religion and who might also be gay, bi or anything else that they are not alone ... as he explains that he comes from a Mormon background himself. Basically, David says you can both be religious and identify as LGBTQ+. He says,"[P]lease consider making room to be more understanding and compassionate to those who are LGBTQIA+, and those who are a part of that community and trying to find that balance with their faith which also is a huge part of their identity like myself." DA goes on,"I think we can do better as people of faith and Christians, including Latter-day Saints, to listen more to the wrestle between being LGBTQIA+ and a person of faith.
Powerful words from the star singer-songwriter -- and it comes at an especially notable time ... remember, June is Pride Month.

DavidArchie I don’t mean this meanly but please seek therapy because you clearly have some issues. Sorry but coming out as bisexual or asexual is ridiculous.

No one cares
We been knew, but I congratulate him on his bravery. Good for him. I know his Mormon faith made it difficult for him. Hope he can live freely now.
Took him long enough…would have been amazing when he actually had a voice.
What he's all of the letters?
so he is lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transexual all at the same time?
Lol like we didn't know that already!! We still love you David! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Well, he was the last to know then. I knew he was gay when he was on AI!
David archuleya maybe was gay I think you might be thinking of
Obviously ...
likewhocares
Wait.. he’s all of the letters🤔
I could have sworn this already happened
Who gives a shit about this dudes sexual preference
I don’t think this comes as a surprise to many.
Please listen his latest song!! 🎶💖
No shit!? Shocked?
I know there's a lot of joking here which I find interesting since everyone embraced Demi Lovato and JoJo Siwa, etc. I feel anyone who takes this step to share their feelings so honestly is pretty awesome and brave. Good for David!!
I'll be glad when we as a society stop caring about someone's preference.
Tell us when American Idol contestants come out as straight.
shocker
I don’t get it. Thought he was a queer all along
I mean, good for ya, but we been knew.
more Millennials are coming out because they think it's a trend.
.....he can't be the L in that 😂..he needs to choose one..wtf who wrote the header ?
Glad you feel comfortable enough to openly live in your truth.❤
So he’s the whole alphabet not just gay
What…he’s coming out as all of them?🙄
He should get the attention , the other white didn’t deserve an ounce of it David A is white but the exception for giving attention given to because he was a white kid born into a Familiy that gays are less. It’s the Mormon way I would get rid of them just on principal
I don’t think this comes a surprise to anyone.
Great, another alphabet person.
Mormons don’t like or tolerate gays at all. As a matter of fact it’s a known fact they would rather have murderer for a son rather than a gay son. He was one of those gays that didn’t realize he was gay. Growing up there omg i dont know how he did it
Nobody is surprised but ok
Hes asexual/bi! Thats POG!!! My niece will be proud
🤷🏻♂️ I assumed he was when he was on American Idol 🤦🏻♂️
Go back in . .
I’m soooo shocked lmao
Gaysp
Sick Dictators,like LEECH,STUCK to Our Life! Let the EU Prove to Us that the Words 'Human Rights' are not Advertising! It is don't turns out Slandered and Poisoned Us.Because of Politics, they can STOLEN us! EU is Waiting for Montonegro to Pack and Send Us home to DEATH!

Lol wut? Did he think it was a secret?
Ummm I think everyone knew.. but good for him. He's still a him right?
The obvious don't need to come out gess
That is awesome!
😔😕
So brave
Terrible set of humans
He came out as gay in 2014 but realized he is attracted to woman too but doesn’t have sexual urges so he doesn’t have a “label”.
He is just now coming out?
This shocks people?
Throwback
This isn’t news is it?
Like every other contestant should.
Fag
I mean, I heard from his interviews that his family were very strict against LGBT community so I’m not surprised it took him awhile.
betcha the mormon church wasn’t to happy about that😬
Who?
No way!
Did he not know that everyone knew? What?
I thought he came out years ago. Well, congrats on living your truth. May the World learn to accept that your life choices and sexual orientation will not affect them.
