“Today is the start of PRIDE MONTH! I have so much pride for this kid and everything they are and do!”

Busy Philipps paid tribute to her daughter Birdie in a gushing Instagram post to mark the start of Pride month.

Philipps revealed that Birdie is gay and uses they/them pronouns on her Podcast, last month: “For those of you who are my friends listening at home, this is the first you’re hearing that Birdie is gay and out. Birdie told us at 10 years old and I mean, obviously I knew that Birdie knew.”

Speaking about the ways in which her daughter makes her proud, the actress said: “One incredible thing Birdie did last year (that I would like to brag about right now) is that after seeing all of the beauty products that I was sent by brands that went unused or given away, Birdie decided to start gathering the unopened makeup and hygiene items from me and other influencer types(actors, singers, makeup and hair artists) to donate to the @lalgbtcenter for the queer and trans youth that the Center provides a safe space for. Well. Thanks to many of my friends, Birdie was able to donate HUNDREDS of items to the center.”
