The whole town wants him to get help.

This former network singing contestant has fewer and fewer circles of people who are willing to hang out with him.

He is just too messy and brings too much drama everywhere he shows up.

The whole town wants him to get help.

David Archuleta

A year after publicly coming out as queer and leaving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, David Archuleta said he notes a shift in his relationships with former Mormon friends, describing them as distant or “cold.”

At the star dedication ceremony for George Michael hosted by Project Angel Food in Los Angeles, the American Idol alum shares his journey of self-acceptance, challenging the beliefs instilled by his previous community.

Archuleta, 32, expressed a newfound liberation from apologizing for his authentic self and emphasizes the ongoing process of discovering and embracing his identity as an adult queer individual.
