Married Gay Influencers Show Homophobic Pride Protestors What Love Looks Like
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Married influencer couple Nick Toteda and Anthony Cushion didn't back down from a mob of homophobic protestors at London Pride this past weekend. In fact, they made a point of setting a loving example.
The two then shared a video clip of their demonstration of devotion, taking to Instagram with the message, "Spreading the love to our haters 😘".
In the clip, the couple rush, hand in hand, to where anti-LGBTQ+ protestors have gathered. There, to roars of approval that drown out whatever one protester is shouting into a microphone, Toteda leaps into Cushion's arms, and the two share a deep, passionate kiss as Cushion swings his husband around.
The cheering continues with the Pride-flag-waving crowd giving full-throated voice to their approval, as Cushion gently lowers Toteda to the ground once again.
Fans flooded the post's comments section with responses that were as least as jubilant as that of the Pride-goers.
"YESSSS BOYSSSSS ❤️🙌🔥" one posted, while another declared, "They secretly love it. They're watching like 🤤".
"This. is. everything 👏🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️," another person posted, while another wrote, "Now that's so Satisfying to watch 😅👏".
"Like the world isn't awful enough and so they decide to protest against a bit of extra love?" one person wrote, while another mused, "I just don't understand what they are protesting 😂😂😂 they just need to stop being so obsessed with us."
Check out some of the other uplifting images and messages the couple have posted to Instagram, including trips to various Pride celebrations and happy depictions of their marriage:
