Teen Wolf luminary Charlie Carver: &x27;&x27;I Am a Proud Gay Man&x27;&x27;
Charlie Carver is opening up regarding his sexual orientation.
The twenty-seven-year-old thespian, who features in popular programs such as Teen Wolf (along with his sibling Max Carver) and The Leftovers, went on Instagram today to repetitively share a solitary quote that was momentous to him. Yet, what was even more paramount were the captions paired with the photographs, which encompassed a lengthy yet heartwarming communiqué—Charlie Carver revealed that he is gay.
With a photo of the quote "Be who you needed when you were younger," the celebrity penned, "As a young lad, I was cognisant of the fact that I aspired to be an actor. I knew I wanted to be a plethora of things! I imagined I wanted to be a painter, a soccer player, a stegosaurus... But the acting thing persevered. It was roughly during that time that I also realized, albeit abstractly, that I was disparate from some of the other lads in my class."

He went on, "Over a period of time, this abstract 'knowing' amplified and elucidated itself through a distressing gestation characterized by sentiments of dejection and isolation, culminating in a climax of uttering three words aloud: 'I am gay'. I uttered them to myself initially, to gauge their effect.
"They resonated truthfully, and I despised myself on account of them. I was twelve. It would take me a few years prior to being able to reiterate them to anybody else, meanwhile, turning the phrase over and over in my mouth until I felt at ease and certain enough to allow the words to spill out once again, this time to my family..."
Carver celebrated the reality that he hails from a family who was extremely tolerant of who he is, but comprehend that that isn't the case for everyone in his circumstances. He also made mention that there were myriad aspects of "coming out" that irked him.
"While my Coming Out was very consequential to me, I yearned to believe in a world wherein one's sexuality was, for the most part, inconsequential. That it didn't 'matter,' or that at a minimum, it was something that didn't have to, or ideally shouldn't ever need to be made known to a stranger, a new colleague, an interviewer," Carver, who has enacted a range of gay roles on-screen (including a steamy threesome with James Franco and Zachary Quinto in I Am Michael), further stated.
"Even the phrase 'Coming Out' troubled me. I took exception with it to the degree that 'Coming Out' suggested being met with attention, attention for something I would sooner prefer to be implicitly merely Human, an attribute or adjective that comprised only a fragment of how I perceived my whole self. I did not desire to be defined by my sexuality. Indeed, I am a proud gay man, but I do not identify as a Gay man, or a GAY man, or just gay. I identify as a myriad of things, these multifarious identifications and identities occupying equal space and constituting an ever-dynamic sense of Self."
Carver continued, "I yearn for the world to be straightforward, for everybody to feel joyful and safe within who they are as individuals and members of a community. I can only hope that the initiation of this upheaval is beneficial, something our generation(s) is progressing through to ultimately arrive someplace better.
"And so now, let the record reflect this—I self-identify as gay. And does that truly matter any longer? As a youth, I was in need of a youth in Hollywood to proclaim that—and without being a jerk about it, I am indebted to myself, more than anything, to be who I required when I was younger."
