Times have changed and men and women are uniting in the fight for equality. A man wearing a dress as a symbol of support is not something to be ashamed of but to be proud of.

Taking to Reddit, where she goes by the username u/Beautiful_Move7646, the supportive mother explained that her choice to let her son wear her wedding dress had many, including her own parents, judging her harshly, reported Mirror UK.

"They cussed me out over the phone, saying I shouldn't allow 'f*******' in my house, that I need to get my son into a church and get him saved, and berated me for almost an hour. I am now the talk of the town and everyone thinks I am a horrible parent."

Her son wore the dress to show that clothing does not define someone and it should not be a reason to suspend someone from school. However, people saw it in a bad light and felt the mother was letting her son wear female clothing and should not have.

Fellow Reddit users let the mom know that she has done nothing wrong by supporting her son and the girl who was suspended. They said the proble lies with her parents and she should not listen to anything they said.
