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.

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price.
