Is David Archuleta Gay?

After Danny Noriega’s elimination from American Idol Season 7, the gay community may have lost a teeny bit of interest on the show. Who will reprizant yo? David Hernandez, whose image was scandalized because of photos of him working as a stripper for a gay club, was going to be the contest’s remaining gay icon. But sadly, he too was eliminated.
This brings us to the numerous discussions online that America may not be ready yet for a gay American Idol. Or are they really? Many of our gay friends have now turned their attention on this other boy in the contest – David Archuleta.
David is the current favorite to win the show, we all know that. And if he does, then many gay men, like I, will be very happy. This 17-yeard old boy has become a favorite because of his great vocal prowess and probably because even if he has had vocal chord paralysis, he still sings that well!
Online discussions and forums have been talking about David not only because of his singing prowess but also because of his perceived sexuality. Many people think that David Archuleta is gay, many don’t. And some people argue that David just appears to be gay because of his youth. We do not know if he’s gay or not, really. And it really does not matter.
So is he really? I cannot answer that question for you. Instead, I will give you some information that may help you answer this age-old idol-favorite question: Is David Archuleta Gay? (Decide after the jump.)
1. STAR SEARCH
We all know that Archulletes (I like calling him that) used to be a contestant on Star Search, as a very young boy. Below is a video of one of his performances in the contest. You might also be interested in his bio on the show, which we got from CBS:

Impression ko kay Pimpchuleta is that he’s “slow”. Mukha siyang inosente na di naman bagay.
I also hate it when he sucks in air in between lines he’s singing; ang ingay! And did you notice the way he licks his lips onstage?

I’m not sure about the sucking in of the air, probably caused by his coal paralysis? Cute siya, sana lang mas matangkad siya! lol

I dunno but I wasn’t that “soft” when I was 17 years old. And even if I was as shy as Archuleta, I’m not that… soft. I dunno.
Even if he’s gay (which I think he really is), I don’t care. I love his gasping. No. His singing. Really.

What the heck? What kind of people are you? Judging a person and saying that he’s gay? My god! What kind of people are you! He’s just a kid who dosen’t have a girlfriend and is NOT read yet to have a girlfriend. And it dosen’t mean that if he is singing GIRL songs means he’s gay, when your a professional singer you can sing a GIRL or BOY song in a contest or anywhere. You don’t know what’s the meaning of TALENT to GAY. He’s not gay! He’s just a kid. Give me a break.

he is not gay.
don’t play God that you know things pretty well. Your eyes, your brain, your feelings aren’t special enough to make you different form others, so it means you can be wrong by saying he is gay. or even think he is gay.
Its one thing many people are not getting, how he lived for music, how game he is when it comes to singing. A lot of people look gay when they enjoy doing something. When they are having fun and just let go of themselves, but that doesn’t make them any gay, not even close.
Making prejudice about people, about them being gay or not, is really such a gay thing to do.
I now believed there are a lot of frigtards living in this world.

I think the jury is still out on whether he is gay or not. I tend to think hes just young kid who’s voice isnt as deep as many young guys his age.

to the posters above,
this guy isn’t PLAYING GOD. he’s making an observation, for goodness sake. this kid has the typical, “stereotypical” qualities of a “gay” male. no one ever said that this was accurate, but it’s typical in many gay men.
and since when is being 17 justified as a kid? we have miley fucking cyrus who’s 15, she’s in the industry, and have you seen her on stage? she uses some sex appeal here and there, and when you’re in high school — you’re no stranger to sexuality.
you act like he’s 4. he’s fucking 17, ONE YEAR AWAY FROM BEING AN ADULT. just because you’re 50 and are insistent on keeping the next American Idol from influencing your kids into turning gay (which is impossible) doesn’t mean it’s going to stop him from being the way he is.
gay or not, david archuleta has the qualities of an american idol, and if that includes being gay, DEAL WITH IT.
why is it such an insult to assume someone is gay? it’s like assuming someone is a certain race. you’re making an estimation based on what you see and what you observe, but you could bank on being wrong. jeezus, you people act like it’s so taboo to have an opinion.
it’s not this poster who needs to chill out. it’s you crazy psychos.

I DONT CARE IF DAVID IS GAY OR NOT. WHO CARES IF HE IS!
WHAT I KNOW IS THAT HE IS INCREDIBLY HANDSOME, TALENTED
AND CAPTIVATING. I JUST LOVE HIM FOR WHO HE IS DESPITE THE ALLEGED HOMOSEXUALITY THAT OTHERS ASSOCIATE WITH HIM.IF EVER
THEIR PRESUMTION IS TRUE, I WILL STILL LOVE DAVID AND LOVE HIM EVEN MORE. I WISH YOU COULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO FOCUS ON HIS POSITIVE SIDE INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT HIS NEGATIVE ASPECT. HOPE YOU HAVE THE INTELLECT TO UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT IT’S NOT A GAY PERSON’S FAULT TO BE GAY. IN FACT, HE IS JUST THE VICTIM OF THE CIRCUMSTANCE. SO IF DAVID IS GAY, I KOW THAT HE DIDNT CHOOSE IT. SO THE MORE THAT WE SHOULD LOVE,UNDERSTAND AND SUPPORT HIM.(especially we gays coz we know how it fells to be gay and the pain of being humiliated, embarrased, judged, belittled etc.)
WE KNOW THAT WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN FLAWS. WE ARE NOT PERFECT. WE ARE JUST HUMAN BEINGS, AND SO IS OUR BELOVED, INNOCENT AND GENTLE DAVID ARCHULETA.
IT’S MY ULTIMATE DREAM TO SEE DAVID IN PERSON. I WILL UNCONDITIONALLY LOVE HIM FOREVER…

Very interesting that the main web song theme on the http://www.myspace.com/pd1202tp or Phillip Daggett mySpace is one of the “Idol songs†of David Archuleta.
In gay terms, someone’s in love
I’m so glad David’s gay, not so happy that he’s in “closetâ€.
He’s even not str8 acting.
He’s mellow, he sighs on every compliment, he turns he’s eyes and rolls them up a bit like a true lady. 
He’s like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion trapped in a body with a wiener. Sad.
I think he’s gay all the way
He has this str8 acting marketing because screaming girls fill more space and tickets than screaming boys
I read somewhere that he’s a Mormon? If he is than he’s definitely gay.

I don’t think he’s gay. People just misjudge him because of his mannerisms and body movements. But those are merely reflections of his innocence. And he does not pretend to be innocent.. he is..it is in his nature and upbringing. His entire family are Mormons… followers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints… you may research about the religion on the internet to find out what their beliefs, traditions and practices are and you will realize that David is genuinely real. He is as you see him. And perhaps you will also learn to understand why he acts and speaks the way he does. Research and read about Mormons, it may help you understand and know David more. Some of you might end up being ashamed to learn that there are still a community that preserves purity and humanity, after all the things said here.

In exhibit 3C I think his and Amy’s reaction is because of the age factor and not for anything else. She even made that
“handcuff me” joke. As for him being gay, i think he’s just really inexperienced and sheltered but if he did turn out gay, I wouldn’t care. I still lurve him. Archie for President! (:

maybe that’s just who he is. i don’t think he’s gay. if anything, maybe he’s just effeminate. and he said so himself, he doesn’t want to be corrupted.

very interesting indeed, and I too am a believer of his true sexuality which appears to be covered up because of his newfound status. This Phillip Daggett person seems to be a pretty good suspect of being involved with David. I seen the link mentioned above and they are discussing on there that David is actually in Boston right now and that Phillip is having some kind of plastic surgery done at a hospital in Boston and people are hoping that they will both be there or in Boston together. Sounds like a $ nice & pricey $ photo-op to me!

I don’t think he’s gay. Sometimes he may act a certain way to throw us off, but I think David likes girls. He’s just happy! And shy. Not all guys have to be outgoing or easy-going with the ladies.
You said you’re gay yourself so stop wishin’ he is.

Show business is dirty. If you’re jealous you find ways to make that person phase out of the earth by publishing dirty words against that person. Please leave David A. alone. He is showing innocence, humility and trying to show us how music affects our life. Love his voice and you feel better!

i love him, and i don’t care if hes gay or not. sometimes, he seems REALLY, REALLY gay. other times he doesn’t. so i just don’t know. what i do know, is that whether hes gay or not, he wont be coming out anytime soon. so we should all just leave it alone. hes a great kid and a great singer. gay is completely irrelevant to me.

Oh man….. I guess some people can really get ‘desperate’ over things.
I’m personally gay myself, and I guess I Would!, probably feel a little tingly feeling in my heart if he really were gay.
But for the sake of that kid, just because some people want him to be gay, don’t start spreading rumours that he is…. if he is, he is, if he isn’t, he isn’t. Only time will tell.

David A. is a great singer and the main reason he is famous is because of his talent not whether he is gay or straight. In all honesty it’s NOBODYS BUSINESS. Yes hungry consumers and audiences want to know the dirt, gossip, and skeletons of celebrities, but just leave it alone. If he does end up being gay so what does that suddenly turn him into a bad singer?
He does possess shy, innocent, and compassionate behavior which is admirable compared to cocky, arrogant, and egoistical behaviors. The one thing I will say is I hope if he is gay he doesn’t try to pretend to be straight from the fear of his parents, friends, or “fans” because there’s nothing wrong with being gay, straight, bi, Asian, African American, Caucasian, Christian, Buddhism, Judaism etc… We are all humans and it’s time we start treating each other as such.
