Reply to comment by OCSupertonesStrike in Parents of LGBT children at the first Pride Parade, 1973 by Heretostay59

Few points there:

  1. At this point in time, for the viewing public, that's less important. This was very controversial. Certainly for the LGBT persons, if these were actually their parents, it is very inspiring (albeit dangerous).
  2. These people were risking themselves and their safety by doing this. It isn't just a show.
  3. The man in the suit is Dick Ashworth, an American Lawyer that started PFLAG. We do know who some of the people in this image are.
