Gay Couple’s Pride Flashback Photo Collage Goes Viral
Gay Couple’s Pride Flashback Photo Collage Goes Viral
Nicholas Cardello and Kurt English shot the photo on the left 24 years ago at the 1993 March on Washington and recreated it with the one on the right at this year’s D.C.’s LGBTQ march.
The photo set was posted to Reddit this week and has gone viral for obvious reasons.
In addition to the adorable nature of the photo, they’re being praised for their consistent beard and sunglasses game.
The couple, who married in Boston in 2008, wants “to promote positive change in society” and feel it’s important to boost LGBTQ representation by participating in Pride events annually.
It’s clear that a lot has changed for LGBTQ rights in the 24 years that divides the photos. Nicholas tells Mashable that they take part in Pride events to show thanks to “all those who came before us and paved the way for the rights we have today.”

Representing the closeted LGBT community during pride month, this image portrays the emergence of self from the shadows of fear. To be seen is to be free.

NYPD Officers’ League to Honor Twerking Cop Michael Hance
NYPD Officers’ League to Honor Twerking Cop Michael Hance
The Gay Officers Action League (GOAL) chapter of the New York City police department will honor recently deceased officer Michael Hance, who starred in a viral video from 2015 as he enthusiastically danced with a Pride parade participant, during its Pride celebration this Wednesday.
Police Officer Michael Hance’s family will be in attendance when GOAL acknowledges the fallen cop with their Ally Award for his impromptu dance as he stood a post during the city’s 2015 Pride Parade.
The award will be given out at the 2017 NYPD Pride Celebration at 1 Police Plaza.
“People look at what he did and say, ‘OK, it’s a (short) clip’ — but that video was viewed nearly 10 million times,” said GOAL president Brian Downey.
“We’re so appreciative of the attention that was drawn by this one act of kindness.”
The video made a stir at the time and the identity of the (straight) officer was soon discovered and celebrated. Unfortunately, he passed in March of this year due to a 9/11-related cancer.
The GOAL event will feature television personality Andy Cohen and will also honor Deputy Commissioner Cathleen S. Perez.
