Moms Offer Free Hugs At Pride Parade For Kids Who Are Rejected By Their Parents

Apparently, there are many children across the world that are being rejected by their families and friends since they chose a different identity.

And sincerely, it can really be quite challenging for some kids, young teens and even adults to gain the needed acceptance of their parents and even churches.

Nevertheless, there are some inspiring moms and dads that are forever willing to offer rejected kids the love and support they need.

Organized by Free Mom Hugs Organization, an Author, Speaker, and Blogger, Jen Hatmaker just recently took to his Instagram to share the heartfelt impact of a mom hug at a Pride Parade in Austin

Jen disclosed on Instagram that her church went to the Austin Parade for an important function, adding that no one would have been able to explain it better if he/she didn’t grace the march.

She wrote on Instagram: “[We] gave out Free Mom Hugs, Free Dad Hugs, Free Grana Hugs, and Free Pastor Hugs like it was our paying jobs,” Jen wrote. “And when I say hugs, I mean THE KIND A MAMA GIVES HER BELOVED KID.” She added.

Explaining that their arms were fully occupied, giving out hugs, Jen further stated: “We ‘happy hugged’ a ton of folks, but dozens of times, I’d spot someone in the parade look our way, squint at our shirts and posters, and RACE into our arms.

While their pastor also gave out free hugs-Which is quite rare, Jen at the conclusion of the Pride Parade shared a photo herself in sweat, tears, and glitters.

These were the response of a dear heart:

“I miss this.”
“My mom doesn’t love me anymore.”
“My dad hasn’t spoken to me in three years.”
“Please just one more hug.”
