OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Jennifer Lawrence showed a heartfelt moment of support for the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month by publicly purchasing and displaying a Pride flag while walking through New York City on June 25, 2023. The Oscar-winning actress bought the rainbow flag from a vendor in Washington Square Park and attached it to her son’s stroller—a simple yet powerful gesture of solidarity.
Though Lawrence has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights—famously calling out former Vice President Mike Pence for his stance on conversion therapy at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards—she has not linked this particular act to any political statement or event. Instead, sources reveal that her decision to buy and carry the Pride flag was a spontaneous, personal expression of allyship during Pride Month.
This small but meaningful moment highlights Lawrence’s genuine support for the community beyond headlines and speeches. It underscores how everyday actions—whether public or private—can contribute to visibility and acceptance, reminding fans that allyship often comes down to authentic, heartfelt choices.
