But there's something else real too, something that as the mother of a teenager I've been privileged to witness again and again. We have kids who say they're physically unsafe in their schools because of their sexual orientation. Unfortunately, we still have adults who don't understand the problems that LGBT youth face all across the country, like the California nuns who walked out on Marin Catholic High School's Day of Silence last week. There's no question that the two young men, together, have made a big impact - or that the need for these kinds of simple gestures of friendship and acceptance are sorely needed. Unsurprisingly, the story has been blowing up ever since - even Ellen called it the "cutest thing I've seen all day." Speaking to CNN, Lescenski admitted he'd been nervous about asking his friend but "If it made Anthony happy, and fulfilled his dream of going to prom with a guy, and had a date to prom myself, nothing else mattered." On Thursday, Martinez tweeted, "My favorite part is when straight guys comment saying 'good job.' just made a huge impact everywhere." I couldn’t ask for a better person in my life. he’s my best friend, and a real man given the fact he has the guts to fulfill my gay student council dream of always helping out planning dances, and never getting asked. On his Tumblr, Martinez elaborated, sharing a photo of the hugging moment he accepted Lescenski's offer, and saying, "Guess who got asked to prom! BY A STRAIGHT GUY (Army pants). In the photo, the two young men are standing next to the sign, smiling with their arms around each other. And the message read: "You're hella gay, I'm hella str8, but you're like my brother, so be my d8?" It was from his buddy Lescenski, who also had been dateless. It was a photo from a classic style promposal - a big sign held up by four friends, with a bold invitation. I ALWAYS HELP WITH DANCES ITD BE NICE TO GET ASKED TO ONE." And then he posted an update.

And in Pennsylvania, a group of McGuffey High School gained national attention when they reportedly composed a "lynch list" as part of their self-proclaimed "Anti-Gay Day" - one day after the school's observance of the anti LGBT bullying National Day of Silence.īut elsewhere earlier in the week, Martinez, who is gay, had been lamenting on Twitter, "I DONT WANT TO DATE YOU I JUST WANT A GUY AS A DATE TO PROM. Earlier this week, a second teenage girl pleaded guilty for her participation in a 2013 Florida gang rape of a girl who was "beaten, dragged, kicked" and had her sexual assault recorded. It's certainly been a bleak few days for news about high schoolers. May you both have the prom night of your dreams. We needed you guys so much this week, Anthony Martinez and Jacob Lescenski.
