The initial banner in the now-viral image, was unfurled by two graduate students from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in Wuhan.

After the image started circulating, a group of mothers prepared their own banners in reaction, and came to the same university basketball court for a similar picture:

They also held rainbow flags for the picture.

The incident has also sparked an outpouring of support on Chinese social media.
