Actress Sophia Bush, known for her role in “One Tree Hill,” recently came out as queer. She attended the White House Correspondents Dinner with former Women’s Soccer player Ashlyn Harris. In a cover story for Glamour magazine, Bush expressed her frustration at having to come out in 2024 due to the current attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community. She also revealed that her coming out as queer was a milestone for her, despite facing challenges at home.
Bush explained that she has always felt supported and loved in the queer community and that she finally felt at home embracing her true identity. She described her sexuality as existing on a spectrum, with the word “queer” best defining it at the moment. She mentioned that her friends and family were supportive of her coming out and saw it as a positive and exciting development.
At the White House Correspondents Dinner, Bush made her red-carpet debut as a couple with Ashlyn Harris, who was previously married to her teammate Ali Krieger. Megan Rapinoe served as the maid of honor at their wedding. The actress emphasized the importance of recognizing and accepting her sexuality, acknowledging that sometimes it takes time to see what has been in front of you all along.
The couple’s appearance at the event was captured in a photo that showed them looking happy and comfortable together. This moment marked a significant milestone for Bush and Harris as they embraced their relationship in the public eye.
