In 1985, a Mother and Son Celebrated, with each other’s support; Their Pride
On their way to an LGBTQ+ Pride walk in 1985, this picture depicts how a mom can love her child unconditionally, which in this picture is reflected by what’s written on their shirts. In the wake of the Stonewall riots on New York City’s Christopher Street in 1969, the first Pride parades and walks were held in 1970 with community support.
Let’s fast forward to the 2016 New York City Pride Parade, which drew over 2.5 million people! When it comes to unconditional love and support, this hilarious mom and son duo with a sense of humor proves that not all parents in the 1980s rejected their LGBTQ+ children, and loved them despite of their gender and se=xuality preferences.
