‘GOT’ star Sophie Turner says she’s ‘experimented’ with her sexuality
‘I love a soul, not a gender’

Actress Sophie Turner opened up about experimenting with her sexuality in an interview with Rolling Stone.
The 23-year-old “Games of Thrones” star, who is engaged to Joe Jonas, explained how she knew that Jonas was the one.
“I think once you’ve found the right person, you just know. I feel like I’m much older a soul than I am in age. I feel like I’ve lived enough life to know,” Turner says. “I’ve met enough guys to know — I’ve met enough girls to know.”
When asked to clarify her comment about girls, Turner said “Everyone experiments. It’s part of growing up. I love a soul, not a gender.”
Fans were thrilled she got candid about her sexuality and praised Turner on social media.

However, other people didn’t think it was right to label Turner’s sexuality when she didn’t put a label on it.
Sophie Turner said she experimented as “part of growing up” and everyone’s out here going “she came out as bi ?!!” so friendly reminder that bisexuality is not an experiment, a rite of passage for confirming being straight, or a synonym for questioning

what sophie said is very validating for a lot of people and that’s cool but she sure didn’t label herself as pan or bi so it’s probably not cute to act like she did

sophie turner did NOT label her sexuality. this does not mean you can label it for her. she’s a real person not a fictional character.
