David Archuleta, who came out last year as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, is shedding light on his journey with the Mormon faith as he speaks out about stepping away from LDS church.
said
he's been engaged to three women but broke up before they were married — and those failed relationships drove him to suicidal thoughts. "They were all wonderful girls," Archuleta told Hudson. "But you just think, 'I'm a failure.' So what should I do? I don't want to be evil in God's sight. … No matter how much you pray, how much you fast, you start thinking, 'Well, is it better if I'm not here anymore?'"Asked about being one of the world's "most famous Mormons," Archuleta said church leaders "were very invested in me.
Nightline footage at Temple Square shows missionaries surrounding Archuleta for selfies as the reporter says, "It was clear why he says the apostles were trying so hard to change him and keep him in the church."
