David Archuleta, a singer-songwriter who rose to fame as the runner-up of American Idol's season 7, chatted with PEOPLE while attending the 2023 Project Angel Food’s Lead with Love 4 Fundraising event on Saturday, where he spoke about his mother, Lupe Marie Mayorga, and her support of him after he came out as part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021. Noting that she was at first resistant, Archuleta said his mom eventually stepped away from the Mormon Church to support his queer identity. He said it was sweet to see her at the point she chose not to leave her family just to follow God. His mother has realized that she can follow God and accept her son at the same time.
