Why This Straight Mom Brings Her Kids to Pride

boston_pride_ducksAs Pride Month winds down, I want to give a nod to our allies, who play a vital role in building bridges as we move towards equality. One example is mom Emily Rosenbaum, who writes at Kveller about walking in Boston’s Pride Parade with her kids and their synagogue.

They go to Pride, she says, for many reasons, including that “We consider Pride to be a family event. We don’t hide gayness from our children, like some dirty little secret they’ll learn about when they are older and can handle it.”

Hear, hear. Go read the rest of her piece and then go thank an ally you know.
