Speaker 1 (00:48):
We definitely do.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Ah weddings, you've had? How many?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Just just the one?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Just the it's one more than I have. Oh that's okay,
wedding experience. How how was your wedding? By the it
was it huge?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
It was huge? Yeah, it was. It was large, and
for a whole host of reasons, these things do tend
to be sort of runaway circus parades at a certain point.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Was it kind of typical where all you had to
do was show up? Or were you involved?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh, you know a couple of control freak writers like
we had all worked out. But that was actually part
of our problem is because we were control freak writers writers,
we were not necessarily known for our math skills, so
One of the issues that we had, believe it or not,
was we kept getting screwed up on how many bridesmaids
(01:38):
or groomsmen we had.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There should only be like three per exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You would think, you would think, But then we kept like, oh, no,
I didn't tell you that I had her. Oh no,
but I was meant to tell you I had cut
to We wound up with eleven groomsmen and eleven bridesmens.
Oh yeah, it was half the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, it was nuts.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
That's a Thanksgiving Day parade walking down the aisle. It
took forever.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It was a oh boy, it was a lot, but
it was. It was a beautiful day. It was a
lot of fun and uh and and and even though
it was big, it wasn't quite as big as I
remember on my honeymoon meeting a couple from Macedonia. Oh,
this is where I need my son Cosmo with the
International relations studies to even point on a map. Yeah
he is, but Macedonia. Uh. They got married in front
(02:24):
of eight hundred people. It was it was their entire community.
But the plus side of that was that their wedding
gift was not just a house but a fully furnished
house because literally everybody in the community just all went
together and went else.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Is that traditional.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I can't speak for the Macedonian people, and I never would,
but I would just say.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't see me getting married any in the near
future or long term future, but I might consider it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You must have been, though, I'm guessing groomsman and best
man a million.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Times honored to be Yes, best man, best man a lot.
There was like a fifteen twenty year period that I
was like an expensive twenty years Yeah, best man, yeah,
but you know for some of them. For the like
my closest friends like Dan, Yeah, you know, best man twice,
oh for him. But I would write for my closest friends.
(03:20):
I would write personalized wedding song sure, sure, sure. And
the one I wrote Dan and didn't sing it either
during the ceremony or if it's not really appropriate, I
would sing it at the at the reception. But the
one I wrote Dan was it's my favorite, and it's
just quirky like Dan, and it's got humor in it,
but it's touching as well.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, of course toasts are hard though for weddings if
you've done the yeah, it's many many. I've done a
few of those, and those can go sideways fast like
because oh yeah, it's a it's a mixed crowd, and
it's kind of a tense crowd. People are you know,
it's it's just emotions are running.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
High yet weddings and uh, you know, there's nothing worse
than the drunken bridesman thinking she's going to be touching
and heartfelt and she's just smashed, and it goes on
and on and on. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
That can be challenging. I mean, but weddings, yes, they
are a great time of joy. Yeah, obviously.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
In fact, well here let's let's ask do you cry
at weddings?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh? I cry over you know, at and t commercials?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I do too, I do too.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yes, weddings, Yes, definitely.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's usually well, especially if I'm close to them, and
why would they invite me if I'm not. But it's
usually when the husband starts tearing up, for the groom
starts tearing up, I will lose it. Maybe that's why
I haven't gotten married, because I will.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I would actually just won't make it through.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I wouldn't. I'd start bawling. Yeah, there's a lot of
opinions on why people cry at weddings. So let's ask
sirih why do people cry at weddings? Crying at weddings
is a natural reaction to the joy and nostalgia of
the occasion. This is from webbiddy dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, well not sponsored by Redbitty dot com. But but
but interesting first, First, interesting that you have Siri do
a British accent on your phone.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
But we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I love that. But interesting, yes, because it's true, like
these are these are times of great joy, but like
all big life transitions, it's also a time of great stress. Right,
There's a lot and even if it's it doesn't have
to be a big wedding like mine was. It could
be a small way. It could be a justice of
the peace kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's been a lot of stress and not just for
the bride and group, yeah, or the parents or the family.
It's also can be stressful for the accouterments as it were,
meaning a wedding band. Oh, it can be very very stressful.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You can't play the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Right And I you know, in my band I was
in and we would play every weekend. We would play
not just weddings but everything. Yeah, and we were lucky
enough to be hired a lot. But on one particular occasion,
at one particular wedding reception, I had the worst drumming experience,
(06:13):
the worst drumming experience of my entire career. This must
be all right, So have you ever heard of a
dollar dance? All right? This is a maybe it was
a Midwestern thing, but it's it's a tradition where all
the all the guys line up on one side of
the dance floor, and the and the women line up
on this side, and uh brighton, groom are on the
(06:35):
dance floor. The band starts playing the song of their choice,
and one at a time people would come out and
and give, Like the ladies would give the groom a
dollar and they do a little dance and the same
same with that. That's a dollar dance. Sure, this was
like the wedding you were at. It had to have
(06:56):
like five hundred guests. Now that's going to take a
long time, and you got to keep playing the song.
The worst drumming experience I ever had was we had
to play feelings. Oh no, the Morris. I never wanted
to kill an artist more than I wanted to kill
Morris Albert, who wrote.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Feeling is subjectively not a good song.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Forty forty five minutes of me playing three four times
very very slow. Oh god, it was torture.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
That's a lot of feelings. That's all ever since. But
see that's the point, like whether whether you are in
the wedding, it's your wedding, whether you're you know, even
if you're in the wedding band, wedding is they elevate
stress along with the joy, and they do.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I got to tell you, you know, I don't
know if I even you knew this. And I'm serious
when I say it. I'm a ordained minister.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah. My best friend Dan's son who's my godson, Joey,
and his wife Emily asked me to officiate.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Wow, if I hadn't lost my faith in the church earlier.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Maybe completely. Hey listen, I could. I could marry you
and Sean right now and you wouldn't even know.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
It, so it would be good.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But it was very very special for me to do. Sure,
But it was funny too because when I you know,
you get online and you get ordained online. Of course,
so I immediately timed myself, how long will this take?
Because I've heard it doesn't take that long. Yeah, four
and a half minutes. All of a sudden, I'm an
ordained minister. I can christen ships, I could do all
(08:26):
this stuff. Wow, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
My mom went to seminary school to become a Presbyterian
minister and you just did it in four minutes, a.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Four and a half minutes.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Amazing. Well, okay, so the point is, yes, joyful, but stressful,
and in those moments you need a lot of support.
I mean not not just not just logistically, maybe even
financially depending on how big the wedding is, but but
more than anything else emotionally, right, and and and the
sad truth is not everybody gets that kind of support.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
That's so true. That's so true. But all right, here's
the hook for an upcoming guests And we're going to
do it this way. As we all know that the
social media can contain a lot of not so good things, ugliness,
but as we all know, it can also contain a
lot of good things. So when we come back, you're
(09:16):
going to meet someone that used TikTok for a very caring,
very unselfish and incredibly noble purpose and we'll be back
with fat right after this.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Of a bun bigger kill, then some bigger kill, big.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We will thank you, suck, welcome back, and everybody excited
to talk to our guests today. In January of twenty
twenty one, our guests uploaded an invitation on TikTok invitation
red if you're a same sex couple that's getting married
and you don't have biological parents there to support you,
(10:08):
please let me know if I'm not available to attend
your wedding. I have friends that will. We have a
big network and it just continues to grow all the
time of moms and dads that want to be part
of your big.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Day and joining us from the great state of Tennessee.
Is this amazing person, this very good human Dan blevins.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Hy Dan, Hi, how are you all?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We are fantastic. Thank you so much for joining.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Us, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It's our pleasure, sir. But let's get to kind of
the beginning of this. What inspired you? What was your
inspiration to post the original TikTok invitation.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Several things inspired me, one being the founder of Free
mom Hugs, Sarah Cunningham I've been following her journey for
a few years, but also being a content creator and
just trying to be representation for the LGBTQ plus community.
So all those things come together to inspire me.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So you posted this, It goes viral very soon, obviously,
and what happened next?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I didn't know what to do next. I was like,
what do I do with this? Just reading the comments
in that video and just hearing all the different stories,
people saying I want to do this too, other people
saying I need support. So I started looking at different
options to give these people an opportunity to connect and
(11:47):
decided Facebook Private group would be the option, the best option.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So part of the inspiration was, as you say, from
Sarah Cunningham, who I think is from my great homestate
of Oklahoma, if I remember correctly, and and she had
offered through her group free mom Hugs to to to
be a stand in mom at gay weddings. But didn't
you also come across another TikTok from a woman named
(12:14):
Sarah deck Cluette, if I'm if I'm getting her name
pronounced correctly, who I think was.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
A good job on the name. I wasn't even go
near it.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Okay, so so then so, so you also saw a
TikTok TikTok from a one named Sarah Decluey, who I
believe is from Venturea, California. There you are in Tennessee.
Can you tell us about what that TikTok was about
and and how it moved you.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
So I was tagged in Sarah's very video several times,
and she had just gotten off the phone with her
mom and they were discussing her upcoming wedding, and her
mom was just saying, I don't think I can do it.
She's not going to be there. And Sarah's dad had
already had passed away, and.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Her mom couldn't do it because she just didn't agree
with She.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Didn't agree with yeah, yeah, oh lesbian wedding. Okay, So
she was. She had made a very tearful video because
her emotions were very raw, and so I stitched that saying,
you know, hey, I have a group and we can
help you. So Sarah and I connected and we talked
(13:29):
for a few months, and I went to her wedding
in Ventura.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So you traveled all the way from Tennessee to Ventura
just to stand in for her parents. I did that's
that is incredible. Now, obviously you can't do that every day.
So now word gets out, word gets out. I'm sure
they're all unfortunately. I'm sure there are all kinds of
people who would love to have that kind of emotional
support on special days, by the way, not just weddings,
(13:56):
but celebrations of all different kinds. So you obviously identified
a need, you felt a need here, and and then
you did what a lot of people probably wouldn't do.
You went the extra mile to start an organization which
is called Stand in Pride.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Correct, and I love the name stand in Pride or
stand in Pride exactly works all the way around. How
does it? How does stand in Pride work?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
It works currently and has worked since I think like
February of twenty twenty one, so three and a half
years now. We have these private Facebook groups and the
original group is Stand in Pride International, but we've branched
off into regional groups for the US. So if you
(14:46):
want to join and say offer support, say you know
I'm here and I would like to be there for you,
you just make a post and include some information about
yourself and wait for someone to contect you.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
What a great idea.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well, and when he says people, I mean at last
count legion, we're talking about one hundred thousand members.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Now close to three hundred three hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Thousand people, over a quarter of a million people in.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Over seventy countries as well. Right, Yes, that is just phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
There's actually twenty six total of Facebook groups, but we
have members from over seventy countries.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Is there ever any concern about safety there? He is, okay, And.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We do what we can with the tools Facebook gives us.
Each member is approved, so it's not these are private groups.
They're not public, so you have to go through an
approval process to get into the group, and we encourage
members to always remember you're on the internet, you know,
(15:58):
be mindful. There's only so much we can do. Sure, so, yeah,
that is a big concern and it's something that we
take very seriously.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And Dan, I would imagine that an extremely high percentage
of Stand in Pride volunteers become much more than just
a special event stand in but an honest to goodness
family member. Would I be correct?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You are correct. The majority of those seeking support from
Stand in Pride, they don't have anything going on. There's
no big event coming up. They're just looking for human connection.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And one of the reasons that that matters so much,
quite honestly, is because, at least according to one recent
survey from the Trevor Project, which is an organization that
provides help and support to LGBTQ plus youth, about forty
five percent if you can imagine that of LGBTQ plus
young people have considered suicide in the last year, and
(16:57):
only one in three say that they actually find their
home to be in some way LGBTQ plus affirming. Right,
So for people like Dan and his group stand in
pride and all all of those three hundred thousand people
to sort of raise their hands and say I'm here
for you.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I mean, that just has a profound impact on me.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You started this, you founded this, you created this. I
mean you must you know, you've been doing it for
three and a half years, but you might have gotten
over that. Oh my god, but a factor of this,
but I mean, this is a beautiful, marvelous, wonderful thing.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
It's overwhelming. I try not to think about that too
much because you know, I've talked to people. I did
a magazine interview in Serbia, and it's like, why do
people in Serbia care about what I think? But it's
taken a lot of get used to. But I'm so
proud of it.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You should be, and I'll tell you why people care
just because we all want to feel supported. We all
want to feel loved and unjudged.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And I would, honestly, if I were like, if you
and I to become a volunteer, which we absolutely can, huh,
and we get asked to go, I'd have to do something,
you know, kind of funny if the room, if the
room felt good enough. But I would just say, when
I arrive before the wedding starts, I go to the
(18:17):
bride and bride or groom and groom and take them
in the back room to have a little talk. And
I sit down and I go, have you had the
sex talk?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'm not sure that's the kind of support they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I can help you. I mean, whatever you need, I'm
here for you.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Cut to there on the phone to Dan, can you
please get him out of here?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I love what you said in an interview, Dan, these
are just such beautiful words. You were talking about stand
in Pride and you said it has changed my life.
It's shown me there is so much good in the
world I really hadn't seen before. That's profound.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Growing up, I like, it's been the very rural town
here in East Tennessee, and there were no gay people here,
and I grew up going to evangelical churches, so everything
around being gay was very negative. And I'm saying now
(19:23):
that the world is much bigger and that is not.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The case still to rise above that den of the
lack of acceptance in certain communities, and by the way,
it's not at all limited to the South. It's all
over the place. You can find intolerance in every dark corner.
But to sort of rise up above that and find
a way to still reach out to people and connect
people make them feel supported is really impressive. And I
(19:50):
loved a quote from one of the Stand in Pride
members from Nashville. I think his name is Ron Brown,
and he had this catchphrase that he used to describe
his willingness as a member of Standing Pride to be
a substitute dad for LGBTQ plus folks. And he said,
I don't care who you are. I don't care what
(20:11):
you are, I don't care why you are. I just
care that you are. And it's that kind of spirit.
That's the exact kind of spirit that everybody needs on
their wedding day or at their bar mitzvah or their
graduation party or whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Great and Dan, can you give us kind of a
ballpark of I mean, you don't have to be gay
to want to be a volunteer, correct, I mean, and
what's the kind of the percentage of you know, are
there just you know, sixty five year old husband and
wife that like are very caring and enlightened and wonderful.
Are you getting those kind of volunteers?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
We have every age, race, gender. I mean, it's very
a broad strict spectrum. So I don't we have a
lot of analytics to know like the percentages, because you know,
I just have to give what Facebook gives me. But yeah,
(21:09):
it's very a wide range of people.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Speaking of that. You run your own business there in
Tennessee a hair salon and a successful hair salon. This
must take a stand in pride, must take a lot
of your time. Do you have a great support group
close by?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I have not close by, but they're online. Okay, it
does take up a lot of my times. But being
in this industry, I can plan, like right now, on
between clients chatting with you guys. Yeah, so it's it's
very flexible. But I've got some amazing volunteers that help
(21:47):
me moderate the groups because you know, it's gotten, it
grew out, grew me very fast, so I couldn't do
it by myself.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I just wish that I could offer you any work. Obvious,
I have nothing for you to work with here, but
I love but.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I love them ball guys. They have the joke. Yeah,
it's always either weren't a hat or something. They'll always
make sure they take.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Off their heads. Well, oh, I don't know about me. Yeah,
we're always looking for the end there. But you might
be able to help Brian at some point.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, I got to get out of the eighties with
my hairstyle. Man, I think you're the man for it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Here's what I have to ask you, Dan, because because
weddings have a tendency to make everybody get warm and
fuzzy and cry for a whole variety of reasons, are
there any particularly warm, wonderful memories that just sort of
stand out for you so far, like your go to
memories that make you smile of being there for others
in this capacity through standing Pride.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
The whole process makes me smile, and you know, it
just gives you such a good feeling. I drove like
two hours a couple of years ago to stand in
at a wedding for key show, and as soon as
we my husband and I got there, it was, you know,
like we've known them forever and their friends just took
(23:04):
us in and it was just like we were family
and we're still family. That's great two years later. So
it's just sharing such special memories with people, and there's
I don't know if I have I don't have the
budge to describe it. It's just special.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You've created something, So I'll use the word again, noble
and beautiful and it's an honor to talk to you.
Can you tell our viewers how if they want to
become volunteers or they want more information? Can you can
you tell them how to do that?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You can go to stand Inpride dot org. That's our website.
You can go on the Book of Faces and search
up stand in Pride and look at your regional group,
go through the process of signing up and once you're approved,
introduce yourself to the group. Uh and if you're not
(24:01):
a Facebook user, stay tuned because we have our own app.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh my god, I.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Mean like in the next few weeks.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh, that's going to be great.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That's that. I can't imagine making it easier. That's fantastic, right.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
One of the biggest complaints I've gotten since starting this
is I don't use Facebook. I don't want to be
on Facebook, and so there was really no other safe option.
So I'm like, we've got to build it.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Well, that's fantastic. So what we're doing so Standinpride dot
org sounds like the fail safe way to get involved
and find out more information. We will definitely link that
on our website and the.

be wonderful. If you don't mind, what's the name of

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Because I love weddings. I've been to so many of them,
and as a single guy, I mean this everybody knows
it's pretty pretty typical. But you know, the bridesmaids and
and if they're saying goal are some of them even
if they're not single. They they're emotional, they've been having
a few cocktails and it's.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Ah weddings, you've had? How many?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Just just the one?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Just the it's one more than I have. Oh that's okay,
wedding experience. How how was your wedding? By the it
was it huge?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
It was huge? Yeah, it was. It was large, and
for a whole host of reasons, these things do tend
to be sort of runaway circus parades at a certain point.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Was it kind of typical where all you had to
do was show up? Or were you involved?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh, you know a couple of control freak writers like
we had all worked out. But that was actually part
of our problem is because we were control freak writers writers,
we were not necessarily known for our math skills, so
One of the issues that we had, believe it or not,
was we kept getting screwed up on how many bridesmaids
(01:38):
or groomsmen we had.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There should only be like three per exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You would think, you would think, But then we kept like, oh, no,
I didn't tell you that I had her. Oh no,
but I was meant to tell you I had cut
to We wound up with eleven groomsmen and eleven bridesmens.
Oh yeah, it was half the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, it was nuts.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
That's a Thanksgiving Day parade walking down the aisle. It
took forever.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It was a oh boy, it was a lot, but
it was. It was a beautiful day. It was a
lot of fun and uh and and and even though
it was big, it wasn't quite as big as I
remember on my honeymoon meeting a couple from Macedonia. Oh,
this is where I need my son Cosmo with the
International relations studies to even point on a map. Yeah
he is, but Macedonia. Uh. They got married in front
(02:24):
of eight hundred people. It was it was their entire community.
But the plus side of that was that their wedding
gift was not just a house but a fully furnished
house because literally everybody in the community just all went
together and went else.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Is that traditional.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I can't speak for the Macedonian people, and I never would,
but I would just say.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't see me getting married any in the near
future or long term future, but I might consider it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You must have been, though, I'm guessing groomsman and best
man a million.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Times honored to be Yes, best man, best man a lot.
There was like a fifteen twenty year period that I
was like an expensive twenty years Yeah, best man, yeah,
but you know for some of them. For the like
my closest friends like Dan, Yeah, you know, best man twice,
oh for him. But I would write for my closest friends.
(03:20):
I would write personalized wedding song sure, sure, sure. And
the one I wrote Dan and didn't sing it either
during the ceremony or if it's not really appropriate, I
would sing it at the at the reception. But the
one I wrote Dan was it's my favorite, and it's
just quirky like Dan, and it's got humor in it,
but it's touching as well.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, of course toasts are hard though for weddings if
you've done the yeah, it's many many. I've done a
few of those, and those can go sideways fast like
because oh yeah, it's a it's a mixed crowd, and
it's kind of a tense crowd. People are you know,
it's it's just emotions are running.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
High yet weddings and uh, you know, there's nothing worse
than the drunken bridesman thinking she's going to be touching
and heartfelt and she's just smashed, and it goes on
and on and on. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
That can be challenging. I mean, but weddings, yes, they
are a great time of joy. Yeah, obviously.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
In fact, well here let's let's ask do you cry
at weddings?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh? I cry over you know, at and t commercials?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I do too, I do too.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yes, weddings, Yes, definitely.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's usually well, especially if I'm close to them, and
why would they invite me if I'm not. But it's
usually when the husband starts tearing up, for the groom
starts tearing up, I will lose it. Maybe that's why
I haven't gotten married, because I will.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I would actually just won't make it through.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I wouldn't. I'd start bawling. Yeah, there's a lot of
opinions on why people cry at weddings. So let's ask
sirih why do people cry at weddings? Crying at weddings
is a natural reaction to the joy and nostalgia of
the occasion. This is from webbiddy dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, well not sponsored by Redbitty dot com. But but
but interesting first, First, interesting that you have Siri do
a British accent on your phone.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
But we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I love that. But interesting, yes, because it's true, like
these are these are times of great joy, but like
all big life transitions, it's also a time of great stress. Right,
There's a lot and even if it's it doesn't have
to be a big wedding like mine was. It could
be a small way. It could be a justice of
the peace kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's been a lot of stress and not just for
the bride and group, yeah, or the parents or the family.
It's also can be stressful for the accouterments as it were,
meaning a wedding band. Oh, it can be very very stressful.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You can't play the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Right And I you know, in my band I was
in and we would play every weekend. We would play
not just weddings but everything. Yeah, and we were lucky
enough to be hired a lot. But on one particular occasion,
at one particular wedding reception, I had the worst drumming experience,
(06:13):
the worst drumming experience of my entire career. This must
be all right, So have you ever heard of a
dollar dance? All right? This is a maybe it was
a Midwestern thing, but it's it's a tradition where all
the all the guys line up on one side of
the dance floor, and the and the women line up
on this side, and uh brighton, groom are on the
(06:35):
dance floor. The band starts playing the song of their choice,
and one at a time people would come out and
and give, Like the ladies would give the groom a
dollar and they do a little dance and the same
same with that. That's a dollar dance. Sure, this was
like the wedding you were at. It had to have
(06:56):
like five hundred guests. Now that's going to take a
long time, and you got to keep playing the song.
The worst drumming experience I ever had was we had
to play feelings. Oh no, the Morris. I never wanted
to kill an artist more than I wanted to kill
Morris Albert, who wrote.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Feeling is subjectively not a good song.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Forty forty five minutes of me playing three four times
very very slow. Oh god, it was torture.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
That's a lot of feelings. That's all ever since. But
see that's the point, like whether whether you are in
the wedding, it's your wedding, whether you're you know, even
if you're in the wedding band, wedding is they elevate
stress along with the joy, and they do.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I got to tell you, you know, I don't
know if I even you knew this. And I'm serious
when I say it. I'm a ordained minister.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah. My best friend Dan's son who's my godson, Joey,
and his wife Emily asked me to officiate.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Wow, if I hadn't lost my faith in the church earlier.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Maybe completely. Hey listen, I could. I could marry you
and Sean right now and you wouldn't even know.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
It, so it would be good.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But it was very very special for me to do. Sure,
But it was funny too because when I you know,
you get online and you get ordained online. Of course,
so I immediately timed myself, how long will this take?
Because I've heard it doesn't take that long. Yeah, four
and a half minutes. All of a sudden, I'm an
ordained minister. I can christen ships, I could do all
(08:26):
this stuff. Wow, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
My mom went to seminary school to become a Presbyterian
minister and you just did it in four minutes, a.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Four and a half minutes.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Amazing. Well, okay, so the point is, yes, joyful, but stressful,
and in those moments you need a lot of support.
I mean not not just not just logistically, maybe even
financially depending on how big the wedding is, but but
more than anything else emotionally, right, and and and the
sad truth is not everybody gets that kind of support.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
That's so true. That's so true. But all right, here's
the hook for an upcoming guests And we're going to
do it this way. As we all know that the
social media can contain a lot of not so good things, ugliness,
but as we all know, it can also contain a
lot of good things. So when we come back, you're
(09:16):
going to meet someone that used TikTok for a very caring,
very unselfish and incredibly noble purpose and we'll be back
with fat right after this.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Of a bun bigger kill, then some bigger kill, big.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We will thank you, suck, welcome back, and everybody excited
to talk to our guests today. In January of twenty
twenty one, our guests uploaded an invitation on TikTok invitation
red if you're a same sex couple that's getting married
and you don't have biological parents there to support you,
(10:08):
please let me know if I'm not available to attend
your wedding. I have friends that will. We have a
big network and it just continues to grow all the
time of moms and dads that want to be part
of your big.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Day and joining us from the great state of Tennessee.
Is this amazing person, this very good human Dan blevins.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Hy Dan, Hi, how are you all?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We are fantastic. Thank you so much for joining.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Us, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It's our pleasure, sir. But let's get to kind of
the beginning of this. What inspired you? What was your
inspiration to post the original TikTok invitation.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Several things inspired me, one being the founder of Free
mom Hugs, Sarah Cunningham I've been following her journey for
a few years, but also being a content creator and
just trying to be representation for the LGBTQ plus community.
So all those things come together to inspire me.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So you posted this, It goes viral very soon, obviously,
and what happened next?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I didn't know what to do next. I was like,
what do I do with this? Just reading the comments
in that video and just hearing all the different stories,
people saying I want to do this too, other people
saying I need support. So I started looking at different
options to give these people an opportunity to connect and
(11:47):
decided Facebook Private group would be the option, the best option.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So part of the inspiration was, as you say, from
Sarah Cunningham, who I think is from my great homestate
of Oklahoma, if I remember correctly, and and she had
offered through her group free mom Hugs to to to
be a stand in mom at gay weddings. But didn't
you also come across another TikTok from a woman named
(12:14):
Sarah deck Cluette, if I'm if I'm getting her name
pronounced correctly, who I think was.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
A good job on the name. I wasn't even go
near it.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Okay, so so then so, so you also saw a
TikTok TikTok from a one named Sarah Decluey, who I
believe is from Venturea, California. There you are in Tennessee.
Can you tell us about what that TikTok was about
and and how it moved you.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
So I was tagged in Sarah's very video several times,
and she had just gotten off the phone with her
mom and they were discussing her upcoming wedding, and her
mom was just saying, I don't think I can do it.
She's not going to be there. And Sarah's dad had
already had passed away, and.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Her mom couldn't do it because she just didn't agree
with She.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Didn't agree with yeah, yeah, oh lesbian wedding. Okay, So
she was. She had made a very tearful video because
her emotions were very raw, and so I stitched that saying,
you know, hey, I have a group and we can
help you. So Sarah and I connected and we talked
(13:29):
for a few months, and I went to her wedding
in Ventura.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So you traveled all the way from Tennessee to Ventura
just to stand in for her parents. I did that's
that is incredible. Now, obviously you can't do that every day.
So now word gets out, word gets out. I'm sure
they're all unfortunately. I'm sure there are all kinds of
people who would love to have that kind of emotional
support on special days, by the way, not just weddings,
(13:56):
but celebrations of all different kinds. So you obviously identified
a need, you felt a need here, and and then
you did what a lot of people probably wouldn't do.
You went the extra mile to start an organization which
is called Stand in Pride.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Correct, and I love the name stand in Pride or
stand in Pride exactly works all the way around. How
does it? How does stand in Pride work?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
It works currently and has worked since I think like
February of twenty twenty one, so three and a half
years now. We have these private Facebook groups and the
original group is Stand in Pride International, but we've branched
off into regional groups for the US. So if you
(14:46):
want to join and say offer support, say you know
I'm here and I would like to be there for you,
you just make a post and include some information about
yourself and wait for someone to contect you.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
What a great idea.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well, and when he says people, I mean at last
count legion, we're talking about one hundred thousand members.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Now close to three hundred three hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Thousand people, over a quarter of a million people in.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Over seventy countries as well. Right, Yes, that is just phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
There's actually twenty six total of Facebook groups, but we
have members from over seventy countries.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Is there ever any concern about safety there? He is, okay, And.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We do what we can with the tools Facebook gives us.
Each member is approved, so it's not these are private groups.
They're not public, so you have to go through an
approval process to get into the group, and we encourage
members to always remember you're on the internet, you know,
(15:58):
be mindful. There's only so much we can do. Sure, so, yeah,
that is a big concern and it's something that we
take very seriously.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And Dan, I would imagine that an extremely high percentage
of Stand in Pride volunteers become much more than just
a special event stand in but an honest to goodness
family member. Would I be correct?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You are correct. The majority of those seeking support from
Stand in Pride, they don't have anything going on. There's
no big event coming up. They're just looking for human connection.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And one of the reasons that that matters so much,
quite honestly, is because, at least according to one recent
survey from the Trevor Project, which is an organization that
provides help and support to LGBTQ plus youth, about forty
five percent if you can imagine that of LGBTQ plus
young people have considered suicide in the last year, and
(16:57):
only one in three say that they actually find their
home to be in some way LGBTQ plus affirming. Right,
So for people like Dan and his group stand in
pride and all all of those three hundred thousand people
to sort of raise their hands and say I'm here
for you.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I mean, that just has a profound impact on me.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You started this, you founded this, you created this. I
mean you must you know, you've been doing it for
three and a half years, but you might have gotten
over that. Oh my god, but a factor of this,
but I mean, this is a beautiful, marvelous, wonderful thing.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
It's overwhelming. I try not to think about that too
much because you know, I've talked to people. I did
a magazine interview in Serbia, and it's like, why do
people in Serbia care about what I think? But it's
taken a lot of get used to. But I'm so
proud of it.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You should be, and I'll tell you why people care
just because we all want to feel supported. We all
want to feel loved and unjudged.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And I would, honestly, if I were like, if you
and I to become a volunteer, which we absolutely can, huh,
and we get asked to go, I'd have to do something,
you know, kind of funny if the room, if the
room felt good enough. But I would just say, when
I arrive before the wedding starts, I go to the
(18:17):
bride and bride or groom and groom and take them
in the back room to have a little talk. And
I sit down and I go, have you had the
sex talk?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'm not sure that's the kind of support they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I can help you. I mean, whatever you need, I'm
here for you.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Cut to there on the phone to Dan, can you
please get him out of here?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I love what you said in an interview, Dan, these
are just such beautiful words. You were talking about stand
in Pride and you said it has changed my life.
It's shown me there is so much good in the
world I really hadn't seen before. That's profound.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Growing up, I like, it's been the very rural town
here in East Tennessee, and there were no gay people here,
and I grew up going to evangelical churches, so everything
around being gay was very negative. And I'm saying now
(19:23):
that the world is much bigger and that is not.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The case still to rise above that den of the
lack of acceptance in certain communities, and by the way,
it's not at all limited to the South. It's all
over the place. You can find intolerance in every dark corner.
But to sort of rise up above that and find
a way to still reach out to people and connect
people make them feel supported is really impressive. And I
(19:50):
loved a quote from one of the Stand in Pride
members from Nashville. I think his name is Ron Brown,
and he had this catchphrase that he used to describe
his willingness as a member of Standing Pride to be
a substitute dad for LGBTQ plus folks. And he said,
I don't care who you are. I don't care what
(20:11):
you are, I don't care why you are. I just
care that you are. And it's that kind of spirit.
That's the exact kind of spirit that everybody needs on
their wedding day or at their bar mitzvah or their
graduation party or whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Great and Dan, can you give us kind of a
ballpark of I mean, you don't have to be gay
to want to be a volunteer, correct, I mean, and
what's the kind of the percentage of you know, are
there just you know, sixty five year old husband and
wife that like are very caring and enlightened and wonderful.
Are you getting those kind of volunteers?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
We have every age, race, gender. I mean, it's very
a broad strict spectrum. So I don't we have a
lot of analytics to know like the percentages, because you know,
I just have to give what Facebook gives me. But yeah,
(21:09):
it's very a wide range of people.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Speaking of that. You run your own business there in
Tennessee a hair salon and a successful hair salon. This
must take a stand in pride, must take a lot
of your time. Do you have a great support group
close by?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I have not close by, but they're online. Okay, it
does take up a lot of my times. But being
in this industry, I can plan, like right now, on
between clients chatting with you guys. Yeah, so it's it's
very flexible. But I've got some amazing volunteers that help
(21:47):
me moderate the groups because you know, it's gotten, it
grew out, grew me very fast, so I couldn't do
it by myself.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I just wish that I could offer you any work. Obvious,
I have nothing for you to work with here, but
I love but.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I love them ball guys. They have the joke. Yeah,
it's always either weren't a hat or something. They'll always
make sure they take.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Off their heads. Well, oh, I don't know about me. Yeah,
we're always looking for the end there. But you might
be able to help Brian at some point.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, I got to get out of the eighties with
my hairstyle. Man, I think you're the man for it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Here's what I have to ask you, Dan, because because
weddings have a tendency to make everybody get warm and
fuzzy and cry for a whole variety of reasons, are
there any particularly warm, wonderful memories that just sort of
stand out for you so far, like your go to
memories that make you smile of being there for others
in this capacity through standing Pride.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
The whole process makes me smile, and you know, it
just gives you such a good feeling. I drove like
two hours a couple of years ago to stand in
at a wedding for key show, and as soon as
we my husband and I got there, it was, you know,
like we've known them forever and their friends just took
(23:04):
us in and it was just like we were family
and we're still family. That's great two years later. So
it's just sharing such special memories with people, and there's
I don't know if I have I don't have the
budge to describe it. It's just special.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You've created something, So I'll use the word again, noble
and beautiful and it's an honor to talk to you.
Can you tell our viewers how if they want to
become volunteers or they want more information? Can you can
you tell them how to do that?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You can go to stand Inpride dot org. That's our website.
You can go on the Book of Faces and search
up stand in Pride and look at your regional group,
go through the process of signing up and once you're approved,
introduce yourself to the group. Uh and if you're not
(24:01):
a Facebook user, stay tuned because we have our own app.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh my god, I.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Mean like in the next few weeks.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh, that's going to be great.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That's that. I can't imagine making it easier. That's fantastic, right.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
One of the biggest complaints I've gotten since starting this
is I don't use Facebook. I don't want to be
on Facebook, and so there was really no other safe option.
So I'm like, we've got to build it.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Well, that's fantastic. So what we're doing so Standinpride dot
org sounds like the fail safe way to get involved
and find out more information. We will definitely link that
on our website and the.

be wonderful. If you don't mind, what's the name of

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Because I love weddings. I've been to so many of them,
and as a single guy, I mean this everybody knows
it's pretty pretty typical. But you know, the bridesmaids and
and if they're saying goal are some of them even
if they're not single. They they're emotional, they've been having
a few cocktails and it's.
