Asked whether he was worried whether people would think he is gay for taking Anthony to the prom, Jacob responded, “Being judged is not something I’m worried about. Because I know who I am and the people I care about know who I am and I don’t need to worry about what the other people think….For me I was just trying to make my best friend happy.”

The boys went on to share that their slow dance was the most memorable and most nerve-wracking part of their prom, with everyone forming a giant circle around them to watch and cheer them on.
