The Challenge star announces he’s no longer gay after ‘God pulled him out of the lifestyle’
He came out publicly in 2005
The Challenge star, Davis Mallory has announced he’s no longer gay after initially coming out in 2005, claiming he’s been “pulled out of the lifestyle” by God.
The star has been open about being gay in the past, sharing on Facebook in 2018 about when he knew he was gay for the first time.
He wrote: “I knew I was gay since I was 15. I grew up singing in my church choir, and I witnessed other straight members of this choir excel in music careers.
“I didn’t pursue music because I didn’t see a place for myself as a gay artist. I knew I was gay before Ellen DeGeneres came out.”
However, Davis Mallory has now said he’s no longer gay and claimed that being so is a form of “sinning.”
He explained on Instagram: “I feel like God gave me this vision that us being righteous and following the law is his perfect plan for us.
“Sinning in anyway is not his plan for us and is not us honoring his design for how he made us. He did not design us to sin, and when we live a life of sin, we are not just dishonoring God, but we are doing a disservice to ourselves and our character.”
Davis continued: “Think of all the stories of the men and kings who pleased God, and honored his command and those who did not. We are still being judged under those same standards.”
One follower commented underneath his announcement asking him whether he still views himself as gay.
He replied asking “what does it mean to be gay?” with the follower responding, “are you attracted to men? Do you sleep with men?”
David replied: “Do I find men beautiful? Yes of course. Do I find women beautiful? Yes of course.
“We are created in God’s image and in His likeness. The beauty of creation gives glory to the Creator. I’ll ask you this. What do you believe the design of sex is for? What do you believe is sexually immoral behavior?”
When the commenter asked again whether he’s “sexually attracted and has sex with men”, Davis clarified: “To answer your question directly then NO & NO.”
Davis Mallory was later asked whether he underwent conversion therapy, with him explaining: “Not really. But God started giving me vivid dreams and healed me from trauma and showed me the spiritual warfare I was under.”
In a separate video, Davis said that whilst he “lived the gay lifestyle for 20 years” that God “started speaking to me in my dreams” and that “every time I returned to sin I would have a nightmare.”
