It's close to the end of June, otherwise known as Pride month, otherwise known as the most magical time of the year. This is the month that everyone comes out with their most glittering beautiful best and celebrates being a part of the LGBTQIA community. It's wonderful to see people taking pride in their identity, and I spend a good portion of every June crying over people's coming out stories and feeling FOMO over every party I miss.
But this year, a teen named Andrew Edgerton has won Pride and all my tears. This story has everything: a confident kid, a loving parent, and hot looks. Edgerton is a YouTuber who does makeup tutorials. He lives in Flagstaff, Arizona, with his dad Glenn.
Edgerton was making a tutorial for Pride month and filming himself blending eyeshadow, when his dad noticed his amazing technique. Edgerton shared a clip of his dad complimenting his work on Twitter and it blew up, because, well, watch it:
why is my dad the sweetest most supportive person ever im crying :’) pic.twitter.com/ltH3RTR1XH

Everyone is losing it over how sweet this interaction is:

After his tweet went viral, Edgerton showed it to his father, who wasn't that interested in the stats. When asked why, he replied that all he cared about what his son, not social media clout.
I showed my dad how popular this tweet was getting and he wasn’t that excited. i asked him why and he’s like “i don’t care about all that stuff i just care about YOU”. why am i so blessed. pic.twitter.com/efiqCeWApT

If you want to do more open weeping over supportive parents, I've got them.
How about this mom who flew in her daughter's girlfriend as a surprise for Pride:
so my mom surprised with me my girlfriend @ pride 😩💛 #pdxpride pic.twitter.com/U9G7Ke9UYw

I got up this morning to get ready for #DCPride. My grandma walked into my room, looked at my bi flag, and said, “Oh, this needs to be pressed out!” Such a simple gesture, but it holds so much love and meaning for me. pic.twitter.com/stiD3vg5vs

So this weekend my sister is going to her very first pride parade and my dad, who is very conservative, surprised her by buying some things for her to wear (a necklace, bracelet, and shoes). Needless to say, it was a very sweet moment :) #LoveWins pic.twitter.com/JEA8bb356i

This is my dad. He is 86. He accepted me for who I really am whole heartedly. And now he is wearing my anti homophobic people and anti racist people to show his support to me and other... God I am blessed for having a great father 💖💖 #Pride #LGBTQ pic.twitter.com/WCiUbexfNN

parents supporting their lgbtq+ kids during pride month is the best thing I’ve ever seen pic.twitter.com/kSd36jDenu

Happy Pride!
