Journalist Emma Flint, who identifies as abrosexual, has opened up about her coming out story.
Coming to terms with one’s identity can be a complex journey, especially when society struggles to acknowledge or understand it.
For one woman, it took three decades of self-reflection and discovery to identify as abrosexual – a term that describes a sexual orientation characterized by fluctuation and change.
“When I tell people I’m abrosexual, I’m often met with confusion,” Emma Flint shared with Metro.
“Questions like, ‘Is this even a real label?’ or ‘Why can’t you just pick one?’ are unfortunately common.”
Her journey began in the 1990s when awareness about LGBTQ+ identities was far less expansive than it is today.
Anything outside of those labels was dismissed as either confusion or rebellion. “I grew up feeling lost,” she admitted.
“It wasn’t that I didn’t know myself; it was that my identity kept shifting in ways I didn’t know how to explain.”
