Former American Idol Contestant David Archuleta, is currently under fire for his post in Twitter as some netizens interpreted this as a support for Indiana's Homophobic Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Archuleta posted an apology statement after being lambasted by fans who thought his previous statement was anti-gay, according to E! Online.

"Romantic love is incomplete. It is a prelude. Love is nourished by the coming of children, who spring from the fountain of love...expressed between a man and a woman in marriage. #PresPacker," read Archuleta's tweet, quoted from Boyd K.Packer, a Mormon Church leader,which sparked controversy.

"I apologize if I have offended anyone with the quote I sent out Saturday," said the 24 year old singer, through his official website, two days after the controversial tweet.

"I guess I didn't think about the line 'expressed between a man and a woman in marriage' being stressed when the whole quote didn't fit in just 1 tweet. I am sorry my intentions were misunderstood, as my main focus was that too often romance is looked at as the end-all when there is so much more," he further added.

"The bonds that can be there within a family and raising kids, as that is the most valuable thing I have, my family. I do hope however, that whoever may have been offended may know I respect everyone's freedom to believe and live as they choose. I hope others can respect what I value most in my life as well. Again, I'm sorry and please forgive me if I offended you. David." the singer finally concluded.

Archuleta, a Mormon, has always been very vocal about his religion. He recently completed a two year missionary work in Chile last March 2014.
