Charlie Carver comes out as gay on Instagram saying that he’s known since he was 12. It’s a brave move for an actor since many still believe that they’ll get fewer offers as soon as they come out. We’re proud of you, Charlie!

Pt 1: “Be who you needed when you were younger”. About a year ago, I saw this photo while casually scrolling through my Instagram one morning. I’m not one for inspirational quotes, particularly ones attributed to “Mx Anonymous”- something mean in me rebukes the pithiness of proverbs, choosing to judge them as trite instead of possibly-generally-wise, resonant, or helpful. And in the case of the good ol’ Anonymous kind, I felt that there was something to be said for the missing context. Who wrote or said the damn words? Why? And to/for who in particular? Nonetheless, I screen-capped the picture and saved it. It struck me for some reason, finding itself likeable enough to join the ranks of the “favorites” album on my phone. I’d see it there almost daily, a small version of it next to my other “favorites”; I’d see it every time I checked into the gym, pulled up a picture of my insurance cards, my driver’s license…. Important Documents. And over the course of about-a-year, it became clear why the inspirational photo had called out to me. As a young boy, I knew I wanted to be an actor. I knew I wanted to be a lot of things! I thought I wanted to be a painter, a soccer player, a stegosaurus… But the acting thing stuck. It was around that age that I also knew, however abstractly, that I was different from some of the other boys in my grade. Over time, this abstract “knowing” grew and articulated itself through a painful gestation marked by feelings of despair and alienation, ending in a climax of saying three words out loud: “I am gay”. I said them to myself at first, to see how they felt. They rang true, and I hated myself for them. I was twelve. It would take me a few years before I could repeat them to anyone else, in the meantime turning the phrase over and over in my mouth until I felt comfortable and sure enough to let the words pour out again, this time to my family…

  1. Welcome to the club. Such a hot young man. Question now, is his twin as well? And no, this isn’t a sick fantasy. Just a question.

  2. Power to this young man for taking this big step in his young life. He’ll do well recognizing that It’s not about how much as it is to enjoy what you have being you. True happiness is found by being true to yourself and being realistic about wants and desires.

  3. The world would be a better place if everyone came out of the closet and started living the life they should be.

  4. Good that he came out, but let’s be honest here. Coming out in 2016 is much less a big deal or as dangerous as it was when many of us were his age.

  5. Yes he is a very handsome young man, as is his Twin Brother who is Straight. They both play on the weekly Show Teen Wolf, and they both hit it out of the park with both of them being liked as actors and also to the Gays that we had another one on our side play great roles. I sure hope they will be both great Actors in other shows or on the Big Screen For Hollywood Stars. Anytime he wants to talk to an older Man, he can just write to me, it has been a long road for myself and I’m sure for a lot of other Young Men coming down the pipeline.

  6. amazing that all the hetero brainwashing that goes on is still so prevalent and causes such angst in this “enlightened” time…
