“I’m choosing damnation” — Latter-day Saint singer David Archuleta says he’s more likely to “marry a guy than a woman at this point.”
Among the faith’s teachings is that marriage between a man and a woman “is everything,” he says. “It’s ordained by God.”“That’s what I wanted,” he says. “I grew up believing it and defending it…[thinking] I’m going to get married and have kids and have a wife and be married in the temple and get to live happily ever after.”“In our culture today, it’s a big deal to be physically…and sexually attracted to someone,” Archuleta says in the post, “feeling that connection, that chemistry.
The church says it’s not a sin to have same-sex attraction as long as a person doesn’t act on it. The Utah-based faith also has taken a strong position against same-sex marriage. He says he was taught that being with a man would make him unhappy and sad and cause him to “lose the light.”The dissonance between his attractions and marrying a woman “caused me to despise myself,” Archuleta says. “I decided…I needed to change something if I wanted to look at myself in a better light, which was scary because I thought, there’s no way I can accept that I’m into guys…that I could accept that and be happy and be OK with myself, and be OK with God.
