A Maryland high school student, Alex, has captured the hearts of many online after he secretly brought his boyfriend, Jamie, to prom. Alex revealed on social media that his parents disapproved of their relationship and forbade him from attending the dance with Jamie. “They wanted me to break up with him and even tried to ground me to keep us apart, but we always found a way to communicate,” Alex shared. “I knew they wouldn’t agree to it, but I held out hope they might change their minds. Unfortunately, they didn’t.”
Determined to make the night special, Alex attended prom without his parents’ knowledge and shared photos of the occasion on Twitter. The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 19,000 shares and more than 43,000 likes. “I was taken aback by how much support I received; it felt amazing to know people were proud of me for being true to myself,” he told a reporter from BuzzFeed News.
Despite the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, it’s disheartening to see that some parents still struggle with acceptance. While Alex’s parents may not be showing him the love he deserves, the support from the online community has been overwhelming. Many have complimented him and Jamie on their stylish prom outfits as well.
In response to concerns from followers about his parents potentially discovering the tweets, Alex assured them that his parents primarily watch television and check their email, so he’s not worried about them seeing the posts. If they do stumble upon the tweets, they will also witness the immense outpouring of love for a son who chose to be himself, despite familial opposition.
