Free Mom Hugs- New Mexico

09/01/2026

Sending love to our neighbors today 💔

Our hearts are with Tucson today.

Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and Cameron Davis Capara were killed in a senseless act of hate outside Venture-N, a place that was supposed to be safe. This is not just Tucson's grief — it's a wound felt across our entire LGBTQIA+ family.

To everyone feeling scared, angry or heartbroken right now: you are not alone, and you are deeply loved. Free Mom Hugs stands with you, today and always.

Dolly made sure everyone felt seen and loved! The World is less bright today 🫂
Rest in Peace and Power, Dolly. We are so proud of you and all you have done!

Dolly Parton spent her life reminding us that kindness costs nothing and that everyone — everyone — deserves to feel seen, valued and loved exactly as they are. Her compassion for the LGBTQIA+ community was never quiet or conditional; it was woven into who she was, on and off the stage.

Rest easy, Dolly. ✨ We’ll carry your light forward.
