Charlie Carver came out as gay in 2016. The actor was aware of his differences from his twin brother, Max Carver, from an early age, but did not reveal them until he was in his late teens. Later, the Teen Wolf star claimed that his late father’s homosexuality made it difficult for him to come out.

Growing up, Carver suspected something was wrong with him and his twin brother. His brother did not enjoy wearing cosmetics or playing dress-up with his mother’s clothes and accessories. “At a certain age, I began to understand how different he and I are,” the actor told People in 2018.

His parents divorced when he finally began to explore his sexuality, and his father came out as homosexual. He was only 12 years old when he realized his father’s coming out had devastated his mother. As a result, Carver attempted to reinvent himself. He made up a false persona and tried to appear as manly as possible; he only wore sports shirts and is obsessed with memorizing facts. But his true self could not defeat him.

After a year of struggle, he revealed to his father and sibling that he was gay. They both knew and were supportive, it turns out. It was then time to inform his mother. He was afraid to tell his mother about his sexuality because she had already been scarred. “The most difficult one was my mother because of the pain she went through during the divorce,” he explained. “I didn’t want to hurt her any longer.”

His worries were allayed when his mother told him she already knew and was disappointed he hadn’t told her sooner. Carver initially despised his father for coming out, despite the fact that it went much more smoothly than he had anticipated. “I simply wanted to be free to define myself, make my own standards,” he said in an interview with Attitude. “I felt like I had all of a sudden someone who I was going to be forced to become, and I didn’t want to be like him.”

The actor went on to say that his father’s candor helped him accept his own sexuality. “I believe he taught me through his actions that your sexuality does not define you.” Despite his hectic schedule, the Desperate Housewives actor noted that his identity was an important part of who he was. He assumed it was because he was troubled by “internalized guilt.”

Charlie Carver’s Coming Out Story

Carver revealed his homosexuality in a moving Instagram essay in January 2016. He stated that after years of grappling with his sexuality, he has been adamant about keeping his personal and professional lives separate. Charlie Carver also stated that as a child, he knew he wanted to be an actor. He discovered he was different from the other guys in his class around the same time.

“This abstract ‘knowing’ evolved and expressed itself over time through a painful gestation defined by despair and isolation, culminating in a climax of stating three words out loud: ‘I am homosexual,'” he admitted.

Carver also hoped that his story would inspire and encourage other young people who are self-conscious about their sexual orientation.
