The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.
The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"
For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

People always trying to discredit Andy Murray as if he doesn't belong in The Fab 4
Get over yourself just because he doesn't have as much slams as the others doesn't mean he didn't make an impact
He was always neck and neck with those 3 always gave them a run for their money
Andy Murray will always be important to the sport whether you like it or not

#andy murray#rafael nadal#roger federer#novak djokovic#tennis#say it louder for the people in the back#!!! seriously people often downplay andy when he's fucking amazing

Can you imagine when this race is won?
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue,
We (have) let them come true.
#fedal#roger federer#rafael nadal#oh the newest addition is fantastic#20+ years of love and still groong strong

It always gets me that Rafa won his last title in 2022, just months before Roger retired. It's like he was telling the truth, 'a part of him left with Roger' that day. And it was a big part because Rafa never really bounced back. He never won another title. And sure he had a bunch of injuries but also there was no Roger waiting for him on the other side of the court, as he had been for the entirety of Rafa's career. In a way Roger leaving tennis took the fun out of it for Rafa and also gave him the permission to leave too, to follow Roger's lead - something he had done his whole life.
