TikToker's Town Doesn't Celebrate Pride—So Their Supportive Mom Puts On A 'Parade' Of Her Own

When a TikToker's town didn't plan a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community during Pride, his mom made up for it in spades.

A video was posted by ScottyandSimone–an account featuring two dogs that were on prominent display sitting on a wagon and surrounded by Pride flags in the colorful cavalcade.


The star of the show, however, was the mother leading the backyard pageantry and dancing in an inflatable unicorn costume.

The clip, which you can see here, has tugged on the heartstrings of 280 thousand TikTokers.

Let the festivities begin.

The accompanying music for the makeshift Pride parade was "Be My Lover" by La Bouche, and the text overlay read:

"When your town doesn't have a pride parade so your mom wakes you up with this."

TikTokers gave heaps of praise for the proud momma.

The mother had two tips to impart as an ally of the LGBTQ+ community:

"If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything," and "spread love."

When it comes to love, equality and celebrating Pride, this mother knows best.

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
