NYC Parents Supporting their LGBT Kids, 1974
This photo captures an incredible moment in history – when a group of parents took to the streets of NYC in 1974 to support their LGBT kids amidst a society that wasn’t so accepting of them. It was almost unheard of at the time, and it’s inspiring to see people coming together like this long before any federal government endorsement was in place for LGBTQ+ human rights protection. It’s even more powerful knowing that today, many parents still struggle with acceptance and don’t show such open love and support to their children. This photo serves as a reminder that we must continue to strive towards understanding and embracing each other regardless of our differences.
