Boston’s 45th Pride Parade was this past weekend, but the LGBT-support isn’t over. Pride was recently shown in an unexpected place recently: the American Airlines’ Twitter account.

After Nathan Lorick, the director of Evangelism for Southern Baptists of Texas Convention (according to his account), tweeted to the company, a customer-service complaint turned into a showing of solidarity from the airline.

Kudos, American Airlines. It’s one kind of win when official Twitter accounts actually reply, but it’s a whole different kind of victory when they do it with this much attitude.
