“I wouldn’t wear as much as showing a chest,” he shared, pointing out that he was not afraid to show more skin while outside. “Because when I was a mormon, everything had to be out of here, right? So I’m like that, I just show it more like here.”
Archulet added that his life has since changed “so much”, and even wrote a book about his experience.
“I have been in my transition from Mormon all my life so far, and from the closet that I have no longer,” he explained.
In addition to writing a memoir, Archuleta was also honest on social media about his journey leaving the church.
“I guess I just had fun in front of everyone in front of everyone, because I think people are entertained by watching how you learn how to be more on your journey,” he said Our. “I’m not a super Mormon anymore. So who am I? So, it’s fun and it’s fun to work with other ticters. “

There are many more progress, but there has been a lot of progress. “
Before Archuleta came out publicly, he left Utah behind and moved to Nashville in 2015. While living there for almost a decade, Archuleta admitted that she was in the process of moving to Los Angeles. Archuleta admitted that “the main reason” to decide to say goodbye to Nashville was that “so many people are afraid to show that they are Queer there.”
“I was trying to go out with someone there, and they are just like, I can’t inform any of my friends,” he said Our. “I am like,” I just went through this, “as if I were finally proud to be alone and outside, as if I didn’t think I could do it.”
Archuleta admitted that he understood “everyone is on his own path,” but wants a partner who is as proud to be as strange as he is.
“I have to be fine with going out. I can’t hide it anymore,” he admitted. “I came out and yes, people know, even if I don’t know them.”
While Archuleta is soon preparing to call Los Angeles home, he went out to a party to watch Grammy Janie’s Fund. Event, which hosted Aerosmith’s Steven Tylerraised money for the Janie’s Fund, which provides critical resources to young women in America who experienced abuse and neglect. The organization also united with the Los Angeles Foundation Foundation to support the efforts to help with recent fires in Los Angeles.
“We have passed a lot in this city just this last month, and firefighters who support them only show that we are here for each other,” he said Our. “People usually think that the entertainment industry is very stuck and selfish and just thinking about themselves. I think events like this kind prove that they are not right. “
