If you’ve ever wished you could be who someone else wanted you to be, we hope you hear this:

The world doesn’t need a different version of you.

It doesn’t need you quieter.
It doesn’t need you smaller.
It doesn’t need you hiding parts of yourself to make other people comfortable.

It needs YOU!!!

The real you.

The person you were always meant to be.

This weekend, we met so many people carrying the weight of rejection, disappointment, and the feeling that they somehow failed by being honest about who they are.

You didn’t fail.

You are worthy of love, support, and belonging exactly as you are 💖

No edits. No conditions. No exceptions.

We’re glad you’re here 🌈✨

Who needs this? Everybody 💖

A hug won’t solve everything. But sometimes it reminds someone they’re seen. That they’re valued. That they belong.

For so many in the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who have experienced rejection, a simple act of unconditional love can mean more than words ever could.

This moment between Aaron and Max is a reminder of what Dads Hug Too is all about: showing up, offering support, and making sure nobody has to stand alone.

We’re proud of you. We’re glad you’re here. And we’ve got a hug waiting if you need one 🤗🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Aaron came to Pride for the hugs… The glitter beard had other plans ✨

At this point, we’re pretty sure it’s become his whole personality🤣🤣

If you spot the glitter beard at Pride, come say hi. The hugs are free, and the dad jokes are unavoidable 😉🌈🫶🏼

For so many people, Pride isn’t just a celebration.

It’s the first time they feel truly seen.
The first time they realize they’re not alone.
The first time they can show up exactly as they are and be met with love, joy, and community 🏳️‍🌈

Watching people laugh louder, smile bigger, and walk a little taller when they’re living their truth is what makes moments like these so special.

To everyone celebrating this weekend: we’re glad you’re here, exactly as you are 🌈✨

Don’t forget your sunscreen. Drink water. Be safe. And have fun 🫶🏼

06/07/2026

A lot of people carry wounds you can’t see ❤️‍🩹

Some people cried before they even made it to the hug.
Some said, “I really needed this today.”
Some smiled, gave a fist bump, and walked away.
Some came back for a second hug.. and a third 🥹

What struck me most wasn’t how many people wanted a hug… It was how many people NEEDED one.

This weekend reminded me that acceptance shouldn’t feel rare. Love shouldn’t feel conditional. And no one should have to earn the right to be fully themselves 🌈✨

If there’s one thing Pride taught me, it’s this:

People flourish when they know they are safe, seen, and loved 💖

And sometimes hearing “I’m glad you’re here” changes more than we realize.

💜 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 🤝 ✨

One of our favorite parts of Pride? Seeing people show up exactly as themselves 🌈✨

The creativity. The confidence. The sparkle. The outfits that clearly took months of planning and the ones thrown together five minutes before leaving the house.

Every look tells a story, and every person deserves to feel celebrated in it.

So if we caught your Pride fit on camera, just know our official rating is the same across the board:

💯/10. No notes 💖

Day 1 of is in the books 🏳️‍🌈

Today was filled with hugs, high fives, conversations, laughter, happy tears, and countless reminders of why we do this.

To every person who stopped by our booth, shared their story, accepted a hug, volunteered their time, or simply said hello, thank you 💖 You made today unforgettable.

We’re tired, our feet hurt, and some of us are probably still finding glitter in places glitter should never be… 🫣✨ but our hearts are full!

Two more days to go, and we can’t wait to do it all again.

If you’re heading to Pride this weekend, come find us. The hugs, dad jokes, and support are still flowing.

Special shout out to .co for the incredible chalk messages all over 39th St!! 🌈✨

See you tomorrow 🫶

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

At Dads Hug Too, Pride matters because people matter.

Pride is a celebration of authenticity, resilience, joy, and community. It’s a reminder that everyone deserves to be seen, valued, respected, and loved exactly as they are.

For many LGBTQ+ people, living authentically hasn’t always been easy. Pride honors those who fought for visibility and equality, while creating space for future generations to thrive without fear of being themselves.

This month, and every month, we celebrate the beauty of showing up as your whole self. Whether you’re out, questioning, discovering, growing, or simply existing as you are, you belong.

So here’s your reminder today:

✨ Be proud of who you are.
✨ Take up space.
✨ Share your joy.
✨ Live authentically.

We’re glad you’re here. 💖
