Charlie Carver message of love
Charlie Carver took to Instagram yesterday and posted a beautiful message to his 1.7 million fans urging all who who are LGBT to come out of the closet.
As you may recall, the Teen Wolf star told the world about his own coming out journey, being gay, and the realities of disclosure back January 2016 (see post).
“You are loved and deserve love!”
Charlie wrote: “I can point to coming out at the beginning of a true strength, uniquely mine, as a man and as a human being. I’ve found clarity. I’ve found love. While it’s a continuing process and not always easy at first, after coming out, it does get better.”
He added to his message: “Of course, if you feel like you will be put in actual harms [sic] way, your safety is the priority. But if you can, no matter how you identify, come out! You are loved and deserve love!”
Charlie has since talked about how his father, who also happens to be gay, helped him come to accept his own sexuality.
“I think he taught me, in the way that he lived his life, that your sexuality doesn’t define you,” he told Attitude magazine.
He furthermore said: ‘It’s an important part of who you are, but he had such a rich life… And I think because I was frustrated by what I would call some of his own internalized shame, that it almost became this challenge to really get to the bottom of that quickly, for me.”
