Dads for Transgender Equality: Wayne

Countless parents of transgender and gender-expansive youth are pledging to make the world safer for their children.
The HRC Foundation creates impact through 11 programs and initiatives, working with individuals and organizations to make transformational change in the everyday lives of LGBTQ+ people.
The Human Rights Campaign envisions a world where every member of the LGBTQ+ family has the freedom to live their truth without fear, and with equality under the law. We empower our 3 million members and supporters to mobilize against attacks on the most marginalized people in our community.

    Thank you for who you are, Wayne. I'm a trans woman with a religious conservative family, and they are struggling with my identity. Because I love and respect and trust them so much, it makes it hard for me to accept myself, though I am trying. Thank you so much for working so hard to expand your concept of love, it's a hard thing to do. Your daughter is the first trans superhero on TV, but as far as I'm concerned you are a superhero too ❤️

Mr. Maine's experience does not reflect the experience of most who have taken up stakes against the trans community nor are many opponents biased towards a willingness to evolve. Hats off to Nicole for her courage and to her family for their support.
