Instead of gifts, they asked for people to donate to the Trevor Project and The North Broad Renaissance.
His husband, who has now updated his name to Matthew Jordan-Miller Kenyatta, posted some of the same photos to his own Twitter.

Last year, Kenyatta announced that he was running to become Senator of Pennsylvania. He will face off against John Fetterman and John McGuigan in the primary. The Senator vacancy came up after Sen. Pat Toomey, a Republican, announced he won’t run again in 2022. If successful, Kenyatta would become the first gay, Black Senator in U.S History.
