Reality TV star Doyin recently made a heartfelt statement that if her child is a lesbian, gay, or transgender, she would support them unconditionally. While many admired her open-mindedness, one commenter responded, “I support her 100, see how successful Bobrisky is.” This comment seems to imply that their support is tied to the potential success associated with being a public figure in the LGBTQ+ community.
This perspective reveals a troubling view of support, where love and acceptance are tied to fame or financial gain rather than genuine care. True unconditional love should not depend on external success or popularity, but rather on understanding and embracing a person for who they truly are.
Support for loved ones should always come from a place of empathy, not opportunism.
