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.

Reply to @fannypacksnacks my mom got the whole look and Pride merch from @fundotcom_ 🌈🥰 #pride22 #pridemonthth #dogparade

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.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
