“I didn’t even know what a Division I athlete was. “I don’t understand football, I really don’t,” joked Kate McBride, who carried all five children to term. For the thousands of cookies Kate baked for teammates and friends and the countless games and matches both women attended despite neither knowing a whole lot about sports. For the love and support they have given all four boys (Bryce, Toby, twins Trey and Dylan) and their little sister Taya. Jen and Kate McBride are proud of each of their kids. “We don’t let it go and think ‘oh it’s ok that he thinks I have a dad.’ Same sex parents are something to be proud of.” “We definitely correct them, because it’s something to be proud of,” expressed Toby. Questions and comments about their father became more common as their success in football continued, but the boys were always quick to explain that they were raised by sports and strong women. “And we would be like ‘hey, I’ve never met you but yeah, I don’t have a dad’ And their response was usually one of surprise.” “We would get those cold calls, like ‘hey I’m a coach from here, this and that, who are you, what do your parents do, what’s your mom do, what’s your dad do,’” shared Toby McBride. It is an unfortunate assumption Trey and his brother, and former teammate, Toby have been dealing with their whole lives – from teachers, coaches and even media members.
The other one breeds golden retrievers.ĭid you catch yourself assigning gender roles to each parent, possibly assuming the law enforcement agent was the father? You’re not alone. One of Trey McBride’s parents is a Sheriff.
