Come Out Wherever You Are with Sean Szeps
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
Sophie Cachia is “sexually bisexual but emotionally gay”
What would you do if your wife and mother to your children told you she liked women?
Sophie Cachia is a businesswoman who last came out to a sales assistant while buying underwear for her (female) partner.
Growing up Sophie was never the girl who kissed other girls at parties for fun. Until a few years ago she was happily married to man, until a surprise attraction to another woman lead her to discover a new side to herself that she didn't know existed.
These days Sophie describes herself as sexually bisexual and emotionally gay.
In this episode Sophie opens up to Sean about coming out while married and in the public eye, finding her people in the LGBTQIA+ community (and leaving behind those who don't support her) and how she's raising her kids to be open-minded of all people, regardless of their gender or sexuality.
