Ezra Miller self-identifies as queer, but that bit of news is almost beside the point.
It made sense that Miller and his Perks of Being a Wallflower co-stars spoke with Out Magazine about their upcoming film, given its source materials’ seminal place in adolescent literature and importance to a new generation of LGBT teens. That was the focus of the story; Miller, who grew up loving the Stephen Chbosky book, plays an openly gay student in the film adaptation, mentioned a youth spent “trying to kiss boys” and trapped in confusion, deep into the cover feature.
The 20-year-old actor never went further than saying he has “a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders” and is “very much in love with no one in particular.”
The news made minor headlines on the web for the day but has largely faded. Perhaps, it’s because this is becoming standard fare. Whereas in 1997, Ellen DeGeneres blazed a trail by announcing she is a lesbian on the cover of Time magazine, Miller is now the sixth celebrity to come out through the side door in the past year alone.
