Free Mom Hugs And More
There will be vendors, music, face painting, free mom hugs, yoga, a cornhole tournament, and other yard games.
People will also be giving out 'free mom hugs' as a gesture of love to those who may have not had supportive parents. According to USAToday.com, it was found that parental rejection has a very detrimental, lasting effect on those in the LQBTQ+ community.
According to the "Pride on the ND Capitol Lawn" Facebook page, they will have special guest speakers throughout the day as well. On the event page, it also says a drag show will be taking place that day, as well.
According to dakotaoutright.org. the event is free and open to all ages.
