Late Happy Pride - Tumblr Posts

I haven't seen this circulating here on Tumblr, so I decided to make my own post.
last saturday, in Porto, there was a pride parade going down the street and this old man was standing there, by his front door, waving the portuguese flag. most people on the parade probably thought the same: old person waving the national flag? he's probably protesting against the parade, he's a nationalist of some sort.
then the old man called for that person to come near him. the whole parade stopped. everyone just.. stopped moving. they didn't know what to expect, and most expected the worst. and that person decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and approached the old man. and then... they traded flags, he hugged the person and then he waved the pride flag happily. everyone cheered him.
such a wholesome moment. ๐ฅนโค๏ธ๐

(tumblr doesn't let add videos to reblogs, apparently)
decided to post the full video from this story, in case the twitter post gets deleted.
the caption reads: "The most beautiful scene today"
you can see (and hear) people crying in the crowd. such an emotional moment. ๐ฅน๐ฅน
