On the “Star Search 2” season of the show, he won the Junior Vocal Champion title at the age of twelve. He was placed second in the seventh season of American Idol in 2008.
Is David Archuleta gay? Has his revelation of his sexuality changed his dynamics with the Mormon group?

After Coming Out as Gay, David renounced his Mormon faith. He hopes to emulate the widely proud Wham! vocalist, who was recognised by Project Angel Food for the 25th anniversary of his voluntary activities at the nonprofit.
He opened up about how putting distance between himself and the setting he was raised in, has brought him closer to his true self.
After quitting the Mormon church, the “Crush” hitmaker has been known to let loose by going to electronic dance music events like Dreamstate, which took place in Long Beach, California. He admitted that it was beautiful to be in a place that was so freeing.
Was David Archuleta’s mom quick to accept his newfound identity?
David Archuleta’s mother had a tough time embracing his sexuality. Though he hasn’t tried to cut off all communication with his old Mormon pals, he has discovered that they haven’t exactly kept accepting him ever since he left the religion and came out as gay.
He recounts attending a funeral where he felt like a stranger to the crowd and realised that people had moved on from him. Archuleta says that after departing a year ago, he’s discovered that his former classmates “don’t think of me the same.”
While the members of the Mormon faith filled the gap by clasping together with all their strength, David found himself seeking their approval, offering them love, and doting on their validation long after he left the pack.
