Support System like Mrs. Vanderbilt
Anderson Cooper's support from his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, was an example for so many after the revered journalist came out. She was well aware of her son's identity when he was 21 and had always been there for him.
The lovely mother-son duo even co-authored an autobiographical account of their life spent together. The entire world should take inspiration from how supportive a parent should be for their child. Mrs. Vanderbilt may have passed away in 2019, but even we will remember her unconditional love for Anderson. After all, there is nothing purer than a parent's unconditional love for their child.
Team Isiah & Zeke
It is always a nerve-wracking time for a child to tell their parents about their true identity. We bet the same happened with Zeke, the son of famous Isiah Thomas, when he came out as gay. Unlike the negative responses of usual families, Isiah was the most supportive of his son.
In fact, the adoring dad even turned up to support his son for the NOH8 campaign, focusing on equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. Isn't that adorable? We really hope more parents end up being as concerned as Isiah is. Parents, take some notes!
Clementine & Cybil - A Solid Duo

Both the ladies are stunning, lovely, and each other's rock. We have to say; Ford is a lucky woman to have her dear mother by her side. Ladies, we are proud of you!
Warren Is Proud of Stephen
Unfortunately, many fathers feel ashamed of having a transgender child. But with Warren Beatty, the case is absolutely different. He is nothing but proud of Stephen Ira for taking bold steps in life, exactly how it should be.
Stephen, according to his parents, was a genius who did what felt right. If nothing else, society must take a life lesson from the well-known celebrity and his real-life account, and not reel-life this time. It is high time that parents normalize having other identities and support their children just like Warren did for his beloved boy.
Marie Osmond is Always There
Despite being a conservative parent, Marie Osmond did not stop protecting her daughter after she disclosed to the world that she is a proud member of the LGBTQ community. Both her belief and unconditional love for Jessica remain intact, and it sure gives us immense happiness.

Cher's Undying Support for Chaz

To the surprise of many, Cher blessed her darling son and stood by him through the entire procedure. Her active contribution to promoting LGBTQ rights is known to all, so not supporting her son was out of the question. Such undying support is precious, and we cannot be happier for Chaz!
Pauline Is Above Gender Labels
What we absolutely love about Eliot Pauline is her attitude towards labels. She may have been in relationships with many women, but her answer is always a musician when asked on which identity spectrum she falls. She is the daughter of none-other-than Sting and Trudie Styler, who have been there for their precious girl at all times.
We feel there is a lot to learn from Pauline, especially how there is so much more beyond labels. Let us hope she is content with her future bonds and has nothing short of a beautiful career ahead!
