Duggar shared a photo of the couple looking happy while spending some time together in the great outdoors, with her clad in a floral dress and Vuolo in a bold maroon suit and multicolored, stripy tie. Fans immediately flocked to the comments to make pointed references to Vuolo’s supposed support of National Coming Out Day. “Love the support for our LGBT brothers and sisters! So proud of how supportive you two are!” wrote one, alongside two rainbow flag emojis, while another quipped, “Love the neck tie. Sincerely, a lesbian,” and another advised it was “perfect timing.”
It’s worth noting that Vuolo’s tie isn’t actually a rainbow, since it only includes the colors yellow, orange, green, and blue. Also, as several fans pointed out, it may actually be a religious statement as “The rainbow is God’s promise to never flood the earth again. Read Genesis 9.” Neither Duggar nor Vuolo commented either way. However, as the Daily Mail notes, as recently as 2017, he was featured in a video denouncing homosexuality and criticizing those who allegedly go against God by caving to popular opinion.
