Sophia Bush defines herself as “ queer »
The actress of the series Good Sam says that before coming out, the road to self-acceptance was long. “I didn’t realize that I had spent the last two decades moving forward in life, being helpful to others, but often turning my back on myself,” she writes.
Although she has always knew that (his) sexuality was on a spectrum” Sophia Bush is aware that coming out in 2024 is a complicated situation. “More than 500 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills have been proposed in legislative assemblies [aux États-Unis] in 2023, which is why I want to give the act of coming out the respect and honor it deserves” she explained.
Sophia Bush therefore comes out as “queer”who is “at the present time (…) the word which [me] defines it best ». “I finally feel like I can breathe.” (…) I feel like I’ve been wearing a weighted vest for I don’t know how long.

A happiness that she owes in large part to her new companion whom she praises in her text, particularly on her maternal side. “The way she prioritizes and places her children at the center, not only in her life but in the depths of her being, is breathtaking. Falling in love with her allowed me to heal some of my childhood wounds and brought me closer to my own mother. » Ashlyn Harris has two children, Sloane Phillips and Ocean Maeve, from her previous marriage.
