“We want to show that we’re just like any other family,” said the father. “We have the same values, the same goals, and the same love for each other. We just happen to choose to live our lives in a different way.”

“I’ve learned that I’m not alone, and that there are others out there who understand what I’m going through,” she said. “I’m proud of who I am, and I won’t let anyone else define me.”

The family hopes that their story will inspire others to be more accepting and understanding of different lifestyles.
