He concluded his message by thanking \"anyone else who still follows me through my journey.\"
\"I am so grateful for you,\" he wrote.
Last year, Archuleta opened up to fans on social media, telling them that he is part of the LGBTQ+ community.
In November, the singer opened up to ABC News about his decision to \"step away\" from the Mormon Church, saying he had a \"faith crisis this year\" and that his standing in the church became \"shaky.\"
Since coming out as queer, the singer said he'd had a boyfriend, and after that relationship ended, was dating again. Archuleta also said that he sees himself marrying a man one day.
In his Instagram post on Wednesday, he shared his hope that his followers support others who are going through the same situation he is going through.
\"I will not apologize for anything I say however imperfectly I express it. I am me,\" he wrote. \"And I will never apologize for it again how I did for so many years before. And I hope you can unapologetically and lovingly be you too. Wherever you may be on your journey.\"
