Chester Bennington’s child has come out as transgender!
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the Linkin Park singer’s child Draven Sebastian Bennington took to Instagram to show some major self-love — by announcing the big news! Draven wrote:
“As today is a day to celebrate love and what love truly means, whether it’s for a partner, family, or ourselves, I thought it would be the perfect time to show some love to myself. For a long time, I tried to be someone, someone I truly wasn’t on the inside. Ignoring it worked for a while, but continuously coming to the crossroads of being happy or being complacent was one I couldn’t keep crossing.”

The 22-year-old continued:
“In August of last year, I decided to take the path of happiness and being true to myself. I came out as trangender and started hormone replacement therapy, and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. I do have to say I am very blessed to be able to do this, as well as having such supportive family and friends. I love each and every one of you who have shown me nothing but love and respect and see me for who I truly am. Especially mom, you’ve always unconditionally loved me. I’m so blessed to be your child! I love you to the moon and back!”
Awww! That is so sweet!
Draven concluded:
“With all the support and love I’ve received, I’ve built the strength to love myself. This is why I’m choosing to no longer hide who I am. Love is love.”

In the comments, Draven’s momma Samantha Bennington left the sweetest show of support:
“I’m so proud of you. I love you with all my heart and soul. You’re my favorite human on the planet. I just want you happy and healthy forever and always.”
We love all the love! And we’re so happy for Draven to live authentically!
