This mom stands in at LGBTQ weddings when families refuse to attend. Now, her story is being made into a movie
And now, the mother of two, who has since become an unofficial mom within the LGBTQ+ community, has recently been standing in at couple’s weddings when their own families won’t support, or accept, their relationships.
"He spent his whole life coming out to me," Cunningham explained."And in 2014, my husband and I stood with Parker at the Oklahoma City Pride parade. It was my first interaction with a community that I fell in love with." "We are dedicated to educating families, church and civic leaders encouraging them to not only affirm the LGBTQ+ community but to celebrate them," the organization's website proclaims.
As Cunningham continued her activism, she received a request from a gay couple whose wedding she was set to officiate last October. "If you need a mom to attend your same sex wedding because your biological mom won't. Call me. I'm there," Cunningham wrote in the post."I'll be your biggest fan. I'll even bring the bubbles."
