Singer-songwriter and former 'American Idol' contestant David Archuleta says he is a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. But he says that shouldn't mean he can't be a person of faith, too.

Singer-songwriter and former"American Idol" contestant David Archuleta says he is a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. But he says that shouldn't mean he can't be a person of faith, too.

In a lengthy Instagram post Saturday, Archuleta said he came out as gay to his family in 2014, but then had similar feelings for both genders, suggesting"a spectrum of bisexual." He added he doesn't"have too much sexual desires and urges as most people," noting"asexual" is a term referred to people who"don't experience sexual urges.

Archuleta, 30, said it's uncomfortable for him to share this personal aspect of his life, but he wanted to bring more awareness to people in a similar situation.He said people shouldn't have to choose between being LGBTQIA+ and believing in God.

LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ..

And why is this news ?

I love the religious arguments against us. That Old Testament stuff doesn’t matter. When Christ came on scene he said look, you’re all sinners but that’s okay, if you want forgiveness, I’ll give it to you but I’ll love you either way. Christ is the religious New Deal. 🤷‍♂️🏳️‍⚧️🤷🏻‍♀️🏳️‍⚧️

Sick of all the acronyms... I just call them all MCs.....Mentally Confused...

Who cares.

What the fuck is the LGBTQIA+ community? Letters keep getting added to be all inclusive. Why not add people who prefer goats to people? Or Kualas? Is a society defined by its willingness to accept such idiosyncratic behavior?

Lol we knew…we knew

A statement that nobody needed to make.

C = should be added to the list for you

He just outed himself? Isn't he gay ever since AI days?

You know what? I never would remembered him had this not popped up lol. Thanks CNN. Slow news day I guess.

Why should it be a news 🤔I haven't seen a woman claiming to be a woman 😂😂🙈if you gay then be it in silence hence it a gender too. Why make headlines if it normal 🤔

~ and you can be a person of faith without being a person of organized religion… all you really need is belief and an open mind.

What do the letters I A at the end of LGBQT stand for?

Great you are trying to guide the national conversation around some famewhore's grasp to be glanced at.

Interoperate it any way you like but Romans 1: 26 & 27 couldn't be more clear and to the point. God still loves all of us but he does want you to change and is willing to work with you.

Isn't everyone on that show gay?

CNN can you tell BBC what's that man he want from me ?

Can we come up with a acceptable term? the amount of letters is ridiculous

How does the LGBTQIAXYZ+-*÷= doesn't have the BLACK color on its flag? 👀🤔🤯 That should be racist!!!

Money talks.

😊

What. A shock. Really. This is my shocked face. 😐

I am part of the WDYGTFCKUPWYRSHT?

They've got almost 27% of the alphabet taken up. That's a lot of confusion, anger and self-loathing going on right there.

After a while normal ppl will be extinct

This was obvious 10 years ago.. I really loved This was no surprise

Oh lord. When will these poor souls learn the church and religion don't want us. Don't do them any favors.

My philosophy is: what you do in your bedroom is your business. I leave it to God to judge. It isn't my place. My job to follow God's greatest commandments. Matthew 22:37-40

Just call it the alphabet mafia. We queers can agree with that. 🌈

It doesn't matter what any of you think because ultimately it's not up to you. Living a lie is a sin as well. So technically dammed if you do dammed if you don't according to some of you lol. Ridiculous the hypocrisy.

lol well... duuh

Incorrect.

Why would it? God loves all of his children. Man lays judgment without authority.

We R ALL Made by God in his image & God does NOT make Mistakes. He said Luv ur neighbor as urself. He did NOT say but. donlemon KVUE

Anyone else concerned what Elon will do next?

Bullshit

So let's celebrate his homosexuality

Irony like having a Christian Trump supporter.

Yeah... as far as you don’t force others to accept your believes then you are good to go by yourself and your LGBTQIA+ETC folks.

Yeah, no one cares. You’re still not relevant

Rules of nature are clear& simple,problem arises when one needs 2 justify that i am a lady trapped inside a man's body.i be like 'dude,God didn't do mistakes in creation.Creating a new you is the biggest mistake coz u will nid 2 modify everything.'.can't judge though.
