Astro de Teen Wolf assume ser gay no Instagram

O ator Charlie Carver, mais conhecido por suas participações nas séries Teen Wolf e Desperate Housewives, assumiu ser homossexual em um emocionante post no seu Instagram.

“Desde garoto eu sabia que queria ser um ator. Eu também sabia, no entanto, que eu era diferente de alguns garotos da minha classe. Com o tempo, esta coisa abstrata cresceu e se transformou numa gestação dolorosa, marcada por sentimentos de desespero e alienação, que terminou em um momento clímax com eu dizendo três palavras em voz alta: ‘Eu sou gay’”, desabafou.

Carver já havia assumido sua condição sexual para a família e amigos há algum tempo, mas admitiu que não saiu do armário publicamente antes por receio da revelação afetar sua carreira em Hollywood.

Segundo ele, “minha relação com a minha sexualidade logo se tornou mais complicada. Eu queria acreditar em mundo onde a sexualidade era a coisa mais irrelevante… E acreditei que, como ator, minha responsabilidade com a arte e com esse meio era permanecer benevolentemente neutro”, justificou.

O ator ainda mandou uma mensagem positiva para os jovens que enfrentam a mesma situação dele: “Seja quem você precisa ser enquanto é jovem”.

Recentemente, outro astro de Teen Wolf, Colton Haynes, também assumiu a sua homossexualidade – confira aqui.

Pt 1: “Be who you needed 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…
