A Kentucky mom celebrated her transgender son’s coming out with an elaborate, moving gender reveal photo shoot that has gone viral.
Gender reveal photo shoots are getting more and more outrageous these days, but here’s one gender reveal that’s seriously inspiring. A mom celebrated her 20-year-old child coming out as transgender with an “It’s a boy!” photo shoot.
Adrian Brown, 20 at the time, came out to his mother as a transgender man. Adrian’s mom, Heather Lundberg Green, welcomed her son with wide open arms, and she knew just how to celebrate.

She continued, “HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, Adrian! You are without a doubt the most fascinating human I know and I will always be your biggest fan! I love you, I honor who you are and I respect your courage to be unapologetically you!! Lets celebrate!!”
The photo shoot included an “It’s a boy!” blanket swaddle, blue balloons, confetti, stickers, a giant teddy bear, and a fake baby bump.
It’s all a bit silly — but Heather did it for the most serious of reasons.
“How could we not!!?? The transgender community is under attack by our president for goodness sake. These...
