"I would say, just be true to yourself — what’s the point of being on this earth if you’re going to try and be someone you’re not?" Zaya is seen asking in the video. "Be true and don’t really care what the stereotypical way of being you is".

Union captioned the video she shared of her husband and Zaya with a sweet message promoting acceptance! "Meet Zaya," she wrote. "She's compassionate, loving, whip smart and we are so proud of her. It’s Ok to listen to, love & respect your children exactly as they are. Love and light good people".
