Sophie Turner Seemingly Reveals She's 'Not Straight' While Celebrating Pride
Well, it looks like at least one star is kicking off Pride Month with a bang. Sophie Turner, whose greatest hits include being Queen of the North on "Game of Thrones," getting wine drunk on Instagram, and marrying a Jonas brother in a jumpsuit in Vegas, appeared to make an important announcement on June 3 on her social media.
LGBTQ Pride, which started with the Stonewall riots in 1969, has grown from a fierce protest movement into an annual global celebration with corporate sponsors. Every year the month brings on a flood of rainbow flags, messages of support, and sometimes even personal truths from activists, influencers, brands, and celebs alike.
There's no right or wrong way to publicly come out, whether it's on a televised interview, a lengthy written statement on social media, or just a cheeky rainbow emoji in a tweet. There's also no need to offer any explanation — which is what fans suspect Turner was getting at on her Instagram story. Here's what the actor had to say.
Sophie Turner has talked about her sexuality before
Sophie Turner, who gave birth to her first child, a baby girl named Willa with husband Joe Jonas in 2020, posted a graphic to her stories with the text, "It's motherf***in pride month babaaaayyyy," overlain with stickers LGBTQ pride on June 3, captured by TMZ. And it was the stickers that caught fans' eyes.
One read, "Time isn't straight and neither am I." Another, even more direct, said, "Move, I'm gay." The "Game of Thrones" actor added a "Bi Pride" heart, a rainbow, and a "Gay Pride" heart. Maybe it's not an explicit statement, but it seems pretty clear what Turner is trying to say here.
Turner hasn't described herself as "bi" or "gay" publicly before, but she did spark speculation about her sexuality following an interview with Rolling Stone in 2019. Turner confirmed she'd been with both guys and girls, saying, "It's part of growing up. I love a soul, not a gender."
So let's just leave it at that.
