Marie Osmond and Jessica
Unfortunately, many parents of LGBTQ children fail to support their children’s identities or experiences. Marie Osmond is not one of those parents, however. “Jessica deserves everything she wants in life,” Osmond said about her lesbian daughter on Diane Sawyer’s 20/20 program.
In the late 1980s, Marie Osmond adopted Jessica, with whom she has eight children. While some people believed she would take a more cautious approach, the singer stated that “the God that I believe in is a god of love rather than fear.”
