When the video was posted to Reddit, one of the top commenters pointed out, “If this were a 12-year-old girl, everybody would be sh***ing all over the parents and the festivalgoers encouraging them. Perhaps on Reddit, we can find a voice of reason. Other vile commenters went on to make ignorant statements like, “Kill the f******.” Commenters accused those with a “homosexual agenda” of converting children to homosexuality. Gay Star News reports that responses to the video took a dark turn when it was posted to a white supremacy website. When posted by Ovenworthy, the young boy was called an inspiration and hailed for “ fighting homophobia.” The Ovenworthy post went on to say, “Progressives need to work together to create a whole generation of kids like this.”
