I am very sad for him.
He has always seemed like a tortured soul. He always seemed like he was carrying around a heavy secret. I don't think someone in his situation would go to all the effort to 'come out
if he's never even dated a guy. You get thrown out from the Mormon church for having gay sex...but you don't get thrown out if you say you have feelings towards the same gender. He is playing it safe and in that dishonesty he is hardly a role model...of course he's had gay sex. And probably lots of it. He says he's never dated a guy. I seriously doubt that. He has always seemed like a man who acts like a little boy who is totally unequipped to handle the world--so fragile and self-hating. At his age, that act has lost its appeal--to me.

No need for false accusations.
Lots of religious people wait to have sex until they're married. It's very believable in his situation.

I just feel for him in general. Admission is a huge step for ultra-religious individuals. I've a very similar story to his and I see a lot of myself in him. I'm legit a 34-year-old total virgin—never so much as kissed anyone before. With how deep one's beliefs are infused in the very soul, just thinking about giving in to "same-sex attractions" can fill the heart with shame, so I totally get where David's coming from. Everyone's story is different. Some of us are just porn-addicted—as you all see here, lol.
I sincerely wish him well.

But you're missing a key point.....he's only going to have gay sex if he marries a man? And admitting that he's had gay sex gets him thrown out of his religion. The only thing I'm accusing him of is being dishonest. And whether that is a false accusation or not, we may not know for a long time, if ever.
I guess none of us here are sure what you're trying to get at? He stated that he is not engaging in sexual activity until marriage, so yes.
- SASd,
Don’t you know sex after marriage? Just cause you’re gay doesn’t mean you have to have sex with everyone. Think about hetero couples. Do you think everyone has already lost their virginity before getting married?

I think you, along with many others, missed the point of his “coming out” post. I believe the main point of his post was to ask religious people to be more accepting of the LGBTQIA+ community and, as such, he was sharing his own sexuality as a way of relating with those in the community. I honestly don’t think his point was to make a big announcement about his sexuality. He stated that he had been out to his family since 2014. Just because he never felt the need to make a big announcement about it to his fans, doesn’t necessarily mean he was closeted. Looking back at interviews with him from 2014 and later, he’s always subtly hinted at it. For instance, when he would be asked about what he’s looking for in a girl/relationship, he would always be careful refer to the person in a vague gender-neutral way.
Anyways, besides, taking what he said into account, I would say that he’s asexual bi-romantic. Perhaps he “came out” because he wants to be able to freely pursue a romantic relationship with a guy. To some people, there’s more to life than sex.

Omggg my chances with him just went from -1 to 1!
But, to have sex with a man after marriage he would get kicked out of the Mormon religion...not sure what is hard for you to understand about that. And he has stated that his religion is the most important thing to him. So, if he has sex with a man AFTER marriage it is exactly the same in the eyes of his religion as if he had sex with a man before marriage.
oh can you (or anyone else? send me a link to the full interview? I'm in europe and I woule like to see more than the 4-minute outtake, but I can't find it

Getting kicked out of his church has nothing to do with whether he's already had sex or not. Any guy who is a Mormon could be kicked out for having sex with another guy. That doesn't then mean they obviously have had sex with men but are just being dishonest about it to avoid being kicked out. It could also just be that... They aren't having sex with men - exactly like David himself has said.
One has nothing to do with the other. Virgins exists - especially in the church. And David claims to be saving himself for marriage. It's pretty common among religious people.

David basically admited having suicidal thoughts, because of his attraction to men. Who cares if he's had gay sex or not already? I just hope he gets all the experiences and all the sex he wants, either before and/or after getting married. His personal life is his own business.
He's doing a lot for the LGBTQIA+ community by coming out publicly and sharing his experiences with being queer and religious, + encouraging others to the same...

Yes...I hate how David has opened up about his mental struggles and all anyone here cares about is when he is going to have sex with a man. It's disappointing how hung up everyone here is getting about his own personal decisions. Like his sex life is really none of our business.
- SASd,
ya no matter what gender a person is, each person’s sex life is his/her own business. like… is david supposed to share how much he jacks off to porn everyday? how much gay porn over straight porn? I just hope people learn to have respect to other people Being LGBTQIA+ doesn’t give others the right to know everything about someone.
anyone else not care about his story and just want to see his body?
