They seem like such amazing parents and it’s beyond refreshing to see celebs use their power for good while recognizing their privilege.

I really don’t like Gabrielle Union and I could never figure out why….

With that said, I wish their family the best. I wish they were advocating for more within the LGBT community.

Not coming for you at all, I’m just curious why you think they should do that?

I’m biased, ok.
I cannot find any articles where they advocate for the other parts of LGBTQIA life (homelessness, neglect, abuse, SA, etc) .

Yes, In her speech she touches on intersectionality in the black community but other than that I fail to see her activism be brought to our communities directly.

I understand they only care because it effects their family.

I’ll admit I have not done a deep dive into her extra curricular activities. And I’m sure my hate for her is why I have high expectations.

Wow.
Are you genuinely ok?

I wish ALL trans people had parents as supportive as these two are

If you really want to be depressed, go read their IG comments whenever they post or say anything about Zaya. People are so ignorant and cruel. I'm glad they're still speaking out and not worrying about hurting their ~brand or whatever, but how the JKR types can say that the 'trans agenda' has taken over and everyone's just nervously bowing down to this scary-but-loud minority!!1...nope, actually, there's still tons & tons of hate out there, don't worry.
