Kody Brown Of ‘Sister Wives’ Speaks Out About Daughter Announcing She Is Gay, Shares His Thoughts

Kody Brown of Sister Wives was in for the shock of his life last week when his daughter Mariah revealed that she was gay. Kody had no idea that Mariah was going to reveal this news, but her father is actually taking the news really well.

People got the chance to talk to Kody Brown, and he shared how he feels about Mariah’s announcement and loving his daughter no matter what her sexual preference. It’s obvious that Kody supports his daughter. In the preview for next week, he is seen saying that he isn’t happy she is gay, but he is happy she knows herself.

Being gay may be against Kody Brown’s fundamentalist Mormon faith, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t going to stand by his daughter 100 percent. Kody loves Mariah and doesn’t care what her sexual preference is at all. Kody revealed that years ago, he decided what he would do if one of his children ever revealed that they were gay.

Kody said, “My job as a dad is to love and respect and not to judge.”

The viewers just saw Mariah Brown share the news with the family about being gay. She actually told them right before Thanksgiving, so they have had some time to get used to the idea.

Kody shared, “My reaction was just I am really glad she was born to us. I made my peace with God on this and he gave you to me because he knows that I am going to love you. Total acceptance.”

At this time, Kody Brown already has 18 children. That is a lot of kids, but he does have them between four different wives.

Kody shared with People, “I was at number 10 and I thought wow, ‘What am I going to think about that and what am I going to do? Well, on my watch I’m just going to love them.'”

Mariah Brown is very lucky to have parents that love her no matter what.

Next week on the new episode, viewers will get to hear how the family reacts and how they feel about her revelation. They are speaking out now, but it has been a few months since they heard the news. On the preview, you see Meri Brown saying that she is just very surprised that she didn’t know because she thought she knew her daughter better than that. It was a shock to her that she hadn’t figured it out already.

Mariah Brown went to Twitter and shared that she spent New Year’s Eve in Dublin with her brother Logan Brown and his girlfriend, Michelle.
