Emma Corrin’s journey since coming out as queer is ongoing.
“I think visibility is key with these things,” they said. “I mean, I felt it because I think my journey’s been a long one and has still got a [long] way to go. I think that, you know, we’re so used to defining ourselves — and that’s the way, sadly, society works — is within these binaries and it’s taken me a long time to realize that I exist somewhere in between, and I’m still not sure where that is yet.”
“When I started posting about it, obviously, it felt very sort of scary and revealing and I wasn’t sure whether it was the right thing to do. But the feedback I got from other people in the queer community has been wonderful. You know, it’s like, great and it’s something to be celebrated,” the English star added.
Corrin said they’re “still figuring it all out” when it comes to their identity, but they believe that’s “kind of the point.”
“There’s no fixed identity, especially for, like, people in the queer community,” they continued. “It’s going to be an ongoing journey but yeah, I hope that sharing [my truth] helps people.”
