Oklahoma Dad Hangs the Pride Ally Flag For His Son in Conservative Tulsa Neighborhood: WATCH

Share

In what he describes as a conservative community with plenty of Blue Lives Matter and QAnon flags hanging proudly, one dad in Tulsa, Oklahoma, helped his son raise the Pride Ally flag.

“There’s a lot of Q flags in our neighborhood, a lot of Trump flags and Blue Lives Matter Flags, [but] you don’t see any pride flags at all,” John Wyatt, the father, told Buzzfeed.

On Sunday in Owasso, John told viewers they “we’re fixin’ to shock Oklahoma,” by his son, Caden Wyatt, 15, hanging the “ally flag” with Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” playing in the background.

He wrote: Happy Pride Month to y’all, especially to my son! Love you @cadenwyatt12 #pridemonth #pride2021????️‍???? #ally #prouddad #proudmom Just do you boo…

The Ally Pride Flag is for heterosexual or cisgender people who want to show support to the LGBTQ+ community. It features black and white stripes and a rainbow letter A.

Caden came out to his family over a year ago and told Buzzfeed he was lucky to have supportive parents. By hanging the flag, this was the most people he ever told he was gay. “I was kind of nervous at first, because I didn’t know how people were going to act, but I just don’t really care what they think anymore,” Caden said. “I’m just going to be myself.”

Since then, Wyatt has posted two follow-up videos answering people’s questions.

Reply to @loodywho still learning as we support. It seems like someone who has fought for acceptance, for so long, would also show the same acceptance.
