Charlie Carver is set to star in the most anticipated movie The Batman. The young actor apart from the film, Charlie has been in the news for being an active voice for the LGBTQ+ community. The actor recently received an award from GLSEN as the game-changer of the year. In his acceptance speech recalled feeling unsafe in school for being gay.
For the unversed, Charlie Carver who will be seen in The Batman with his twin brother came out in 2016 through an Instagram post. Recently, GLSEN is an organization that works for building safe schools for LGBTQ+ students. The organization holds an award gala every year. But due to the health crisis, this year the event took place virtually.
While accepting his game-changer award, Charlie Carver in his speech as published on GLSEN’s official website, said, “I always knew I wanted to do something with my life that might help young people in their relationship to shame. I didn’t want a spectacle. I just wanted to reveal this part of myself in a kind of way I wish I’d been able to share all those years ago in school as a simple wonderful fact of who I was. It was my hope that by writing this post and sharing why I’d arrived at the decision to come out professionally that some young person out there could feel the change that I felt was coming and had been coming and would be coming–the change we all hope for and work for and wait for in our lives as LGBTQ folks.”
