The PRIDE week festival seen through the eyes of a PFLAG Nashville mom
On Saturday June 3rd, PFLAG donned our yellow t-shirts/PFLAG banner and marched in the Pride parade down Elliston Place to Centennial Park for the celebration. The weather was ideal—not too hot or muggy—and the mood was festive. I marched with my nine-month-old baby while my 17-year old lesbian daughter marched with her friends from another group, One-In-Teen. As we made our way down Elliston, I was really moved by the support we received from the crowds of people. Several groups of onlookers cheered and broke into applause when they saw us, a couple even joined us. Nashville may be a long way from San Francisco or New York, but it was a very gratifying experience to be surrounded by such support. We’re already looking forward to next year!
