It's not the size of the man, but the strength of his gesture that matters.
On Sept. 10, 2016, a young boy faced off against thousands of anti-gay-marriage protestors.
Journalist Manuel Rodriguez captured this amazing photo during a Frente Nacional por la Familiamarch in Celaya, Guanajuato, in central Mexico. Frente Nacional is a nationwide pro-family organization that essentially condemns same-sex marriages.
Rodriguez says he initially thought the boy was just goofing around when he saw him stand in front of the crowd with his arms out.
But when Rodriguez interviewed the boy, who's about 12, the boy told him he has a gay uncle. He said he doesn't like the hatred his uncle faces from people like the ones he faced head-on in that march.
Yes, hate is a strong emotion. But love is even stronger. And it's love that made this boy take this huge stand against thousands of people.
