The Olympian and Kardashian patriarch made a not-so-surprising revelation on Friday night in an in-depth interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, telling her “for all intents and purposes, I am a woman”.
Nonetheless, the confirmation that he is transgender spurred many to hail him on social media for bringing the topic to light.
Of course, his savvy family rallied round him the best way they know how — social media. Here are some of the top tweets about #BruceJennerInterview.
Love is the courage to live the truest, best version of yourself. Bruce is love. I love you Bruce. #ProudDaughter pic.twitter.com/7ZJ6FuMHfU
