A wedding speech by Kelli Dalton, mother of the bride, has gone viral after she addressed the "gay agenda" at her daughter Maggie Hesketh's wedding. Dalton spoke passionately about LGBTQ+ rights, using a Pride flag and sharing quotes on acceptance and love. Dalton, who has become an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community since Hesketh came out, aimed to reach both supportive and non-supportive guests. She emphasized that gay weddings should be celebrated, not merely tolerated, and hoped her message would resonate with those needing reassurance. The speech moved many attendees, with over 50 guests expressing their gratitude afterward.
