Reid Miller

I've messaged Reid several times over the past few weeks, and commented on many of his posts. I never got the impression from Reid, especially in his messages back to me, that he was anything other than somewhere on the Queer spectrum. But if he is indeed Straight, then great for him for being such an awesome and supportive LGBTQIA+ ally. But honestly, I think Reid is totally queer, but whether or not he feels ready or is comfortable enough to come out, is his own business, and no one else's. But I feel like portraying Jayden Bell in the movie Joe Bell is/was a huge step in the right direction towards letting the world know his true self, if it was indeed one of the reasons he did the movie.

What kind of stuff were you talking about that gave you that impression?

Without going into much personal detail, I had a very similar high school experience as Jayden Bell. I was bullied and tormented extremely bad, to the point that I saw no end in sight, and no help and no one to turn to, and so I also decided to end things. Thankfully my attempt failed, unlike that of poor Jayden. However that was only the beginnings of a very long road for me, that I still have to struggle through every single day, in dealing with rejection, acceptance of myself, Depression, the extreme violent homophobic hatred of others, etc. Anyways, I reached out to Reid initially to thank him for portraying Jayden with such accuracy and conviction. And we began messaging back and forth a few times, and continued sharing my similiar experiences with that of Jayden's. And Reid also shared with me that he had been bullied as well for being different. He said he had lived in a small town in Texas, and being different than everyone else wasn't looked on very well. And so the kids at his school would pick on him and make fun of him and call him names. He never actually came out to me or anything, but I just got the feeling from the way he was writing it all to me, that he was meaning that his "different" was him being some type of queer. Not to mention the fact that I wrote in my messages to Reid several times, just how much I thought he was very nice looking and he is such a tease sometimes in his IG posts, joking around. He seemed be amused by my compliments and really enjoyed me saying them. He even said that I had really nice hair and that he'd give anything to have the kind of thick blonde hair I have LOL. So that's basically all that I meant, by I get the really good impression that Reid is Queer. I could very much be wrong, but I don't think that I am. But regardless of his sexuality, he's a truly great guy no matter what.
 
I'm always curious when non-queer identify actors give intentionally ambiguous responses regarding their own sexuality yet use a queer role to further their career and receive critical acclaim but become offended by being asked queer leaning questions (later in his story about Top/Bottom) or by being seen as queer. I personally don't care about sexuality until the actor makes it a thing and how this comes off to the queer audience. While the question is inappropriate, you're taking on a queer role and ALL that entails.

I didn't mean to ask somethimg so personal, I was just interested to know how you had formed your impression. So thank you very much for sharing.

I'm sorry you had to go through that and I hope that talking to Reid was able to help:emoji_blue_heart:

Came here to post this too. Very interesting :joy:

Someone also asked him if he was a top or bottom and he gave another ambiguous answer and asking why they felt the need to ask something like that.

I think we have our answer now though which is pretty cool
