"love in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. we stand together, against the hate in this country right now - and nothing will put out the fire in our hearts. i stand with our brothers and sisters, POC and LGBTQ, women, immigrants, and everyone else whose lives and well-beings trump endangers. #lovetrumpshate"

According to BuzzFeed News, the two women kissing at a Trump protest featured in the shot are Laura Hetherington and girlfriend Giovanna “Jo” Barba.

Hetherington explained,

“Protesting was just as much about coming together and providing support and emotional understanding for each other."

And that’s a message we can definitely get behind.
