In 2012, actor Ezra Miller came out as queer. During an exclusive interview with Out magazine, he made the revelation public.
During the conversation, Miller stated, “I’m queer.” Ezra Miller then went into detail about his personal life and circle of friends.
“I have a lot of wonderful friends,” the actor told the interviewer, who are of various “sexes and genders.”
When Miller talked about being in love with his friends, regardless of their gender, he hinted at his polygamy practices. The actor also stated that he was “busy trying to figure out” relationships while also expressing his concern about aggressively pursuing “monogamous binds.”
Miller, who was nineteen years old at the time, said that his generation was still learning about cliched relationship practices. He chastised the romanticism that pervades popular culture and drives people to seek out popular practices.
Milner also questioned the true meaning of love, citing a lack of tools for establishing a true meeting. According to the actor, being “unintentionally hurtful” and “irresponsible” when you’re young is acceptable, and he’s “super down” with it.
“That’s where I’m at in terms of boyfriend/girlfriend/zefriend,” Miller explained.
Following the conversation, Miller revealed that he had misidentified his sexuality as he grew up. The actor initially identified as gay, but later described himself as a “really confused queer adolescent.”
Miller, who mistakenly believed he was gay in high school, tried kissing “boys in school,” but was heartbroken when his best friend “turned on him.” According to Miller, this incident transformed him from a stutterer to “a totally gay little opera singer.”
Ezra Miller was well-known for coming out as gay.
Miller spoke with Shortlist in 2017 about his personal life, interests, and, most importantly, his impending come out in 2021. Miller said he felt like he “took the block away, [and] removed the dam” when he came out.
“I’ve unmasked my identity in the world,” the actor, best known for his role as The Flash in DC’s Justice League, said.
Many “folks” inside and outside the industry, including people he had “never spoken to,” had criticized him for his actions, he said.
There’s a reason why actors and other members of the queer community actively working in Hollywood hide their identities, according to people who Miller won’t name.

I was told I had done something “silly” by sabotaging my own chances of becoming a leading man [in Hollywood]. It’s difficult for Miller to hear phrases like “You’ve made a mistake,” he told the interviewer. He questioned whether or not coming out was a serious mistake, which Miller refused to admit.
The actor then called the comments “rubbish,” emphasizing that it is up to individuals to make their own decisions, not for others to have an opinion. Miller was adamant about the issue, calling for individual liberty to “manifest the world we want to exist in,” and claiming that “humans are ready” for it.
Near the end of the conversation, the actor asked those who were still inside the room a question “”It’s all right,” he says as he emerges from the closet. It’s all right.”
