Tim McGraw, Faith Hill's daughter Gracie confirms 'queer' sexuality
Gracie McGraw is proud to be who she is.
The eldest daughter of country music superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill spoke out in an Instagram story post Tuesday, refuting recent headlines that claimed she was coming out after re-sharing posts in support of Pride Month.
"Hello all!! It has come to my attention that some tabloids have taken an Instagram story I posted yesterday and have used it as click bait saying I've 'come out,'" the 28-year-old wrote.
"Let me be VERY clear here….. I've been an out and proud queer, bisexual woman and I wouldn't have it any other way," she continued. "I have and will always be very vocal about my support of LGBTQIA+ rights and the community, but thank you so much to these tabloids for shedding light that it's pride month!!!"
Pride Month has been celebrated every June since at least 1970 and spotlights the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual communities and their ongoing fight for equal rights.
"So many people out there don't have the support, love, or understanding from their families when it comes to their sexuality or gender identity, but just know that there is a beautiful community out there that loves you and cares about and for you!!" Gracie McGraw wrote in her message Tuesday. "Check on your people and keep safe out there. Give love to each other."
Gracie McGraw is the oldest of three and has two younger sisters, Maggie McGraw, now 26, and Audrey McGraw, who is 23. Their parents -- Tim McGraw and Hill -- married back in October 1996.
