Retweet of my original pinned tweet for an addition:

Diane and I have always been accepting of our children. We are very accepting of our oldest, who is pansexual. We are also very accepting of our transgender daughter. We have loved and supported them both from day one. /1

I know many of you have heard this story, but I was very proud and honored to walk my transgender daughter down the aisle at her wedding in April 2017. Here I am with my transgender daughter at her wedding. Loved dancing with her as well! /2

We also have children that are bi-polar and sometimes have struggled at work due to mental illness. We listen to them, and we are always accepting and understanding when issues arise due to bosses not caring and understanding. /3

Plain and simple, if you know or hear about someone in the local area that is not fully accepted by their family because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or due to any mental health concern, please let them know that they are welcome at our house. /4

It doesn't have to be a holiday. They are welcome to come over and just talk any day of the week. They are welcome at our house on a Saturday or Sunday for dinner. /5

They are also welcome at our house for a holiday dinner, even if it isn't a holiday we normally celebrate and have a big meal, we can adjust and celebrate any holiday they want. /6

They will get acceptance in our house and they will leave knowing they are loved! So, if you know someone, you can message me and I will give our cell phone numbers. /7

Also, I talked with all of my children, I am going to take this love and support to the next level. If you know of a person in the trans community that is not accepted by their family, especially their father, please tell them this: Just as I was honored to walk my daughter /8

down the aisle at her wedding as I thought it was an important part of that day. I am willing to walk others down the aisle on their big day. Obviously, family and friends would be best, but if you want a dad to walk you, I would be honored. /9

No one should have to go without the experience on such an important day, just because their family is not accepting like they should be. /10//
