These images of formerly homophobic Christians attending a Gay Pride march in Chicago to apologise for their attitude have been circulating the internet since 2010.

I only saw them yesterday after a good friend of mine linked to them on Facebook, but does humanity in it’s purest form ever lose it’s power to inspire?

Not when it involves a self-described “former homophobe” fiercely hugging a gay man who’s naked but for his pants, it doesn’t. Beautiful.
