My daughter @Smatterbrain drew these turtles a few years ago to support those who weren& #39;t ready to come out. She knew so many couldn& #39;t come out because of safety issues, family situations, religious reasons and job loss fears among other things... #NationalComingOutDay https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

She wanted to remind people that whether they could come out or not, they were still valid and part of the LGBTQ community. I was proud of her then and am proud of her now. #nationalcomingoutday https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> is a great time to repost this and say what a #proudparent https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I am. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧡" title="Orangefarbenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Orangefarbenes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Gelbes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gelbes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Grünes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Grünes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blaues Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Blaues Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌈" title="Regenbogen" aria-label="Emoji: Regenbogen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏳️‍🌈" title="Regenbogen-Flagge" aria-label="Emoji: Regenbogen-Flagge">
