Author and actor Raegan Revord knows the power of representation.

In a recent conversation with Entertainment Tonight, the actor who plays Missy Cooper in the Big Bang Theory prequels Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, identifies as nonbinary and expressed joy at the possibility of being open about their identity serving as an inspiration for other young individuals experiencing similar identities.

In their initial discussion about their identity, Revord expressed, “Growing up, whenever a celebrity or anyone came out as nonbinary, queer, or anything similar, I’d feel ‘Oh, wow, this is awesome! I see a piece of myself in you.’ Now, it’s mind-blowing to realize that I am the one who might inspire someone else. I remember being that kid somewhere, looking up to someone who represented me, and it’s surreal to think that there might be a child out there feeling the same way about me.

17-year-old individual not only talked about their freshly released book titled “Rules for Fake Girlfriends,” which is a young adult romantic comedy, but also emphasized the significance of queer characters in media during the conversation. The story revolves around Avery Blackwell, who is about to start college at Columbia but decides to follow clues left by her deceased mother that lead her on an English scavenger hunt instead. Along her journey, she meets Charlie, a charismatic local requiring a fake girlfriend urgently. Intriguued (sic) and needing help with the scavenger hunt, Avery agrees to this false romance.

As I delved deeper into reading and expanding my knowledge through various narratives like books and television shows, there was a scarcity of queer characters portrayal,” explained Revord, acknowledging the significant improvements made in the last decade.

During various interviews, while promoting her book “Rules for Fake Girlfriends,” Record has openly discussed the topic. She began writing this book during the filming of the final season of “Young Sheldon.

According to Publisher’s Weekly, Revord shared that he has long aspired to create a work that resonates with readers on a personal level, as he felt a lack of such relatability in the books he encountered.

Among my most cherished forms of entertainment are the TV show and graphic novel titled ‘Heartstopper.’ I’m deeply captivated by this series, and I adore how they portray queer love as an innocent, enchanting experience. It served as an inspiration for me, and in my book, you’ll find a similar theme revolving around a found family dynamic. Just like in ‘Heartstopper,’ each character in my story is subtly queer and forms a close-knit group of friends.
