A young boy has received an outpouring of support on social media after his sister recorded him calling out his friend's homophobic comments while gaming.
In two videos shared to TikTok by user @bummblebeeduo__, the 12-year-old can be seen playing his video game while talking to somebody else on his headset.
The first video was captioned: "I'm glad he's starting to learn from my civil rights rants."
In the clip, he can be heard asking the person on the other end: "So, you just blatantly admit to being homophobic?" After a pause, the boy then says: "You know that this means that I automatically don’t like you? Because that’s really f***ed up?"
Towards the end of the first video, he asks his friends to clarify if they're joking, informing them that his sister is gay.
In the second video, the youngster can be heard having to clarify what the LGBTQ acronym stands for, before informing his friend: "If you're trans that doesn't mean you're still gay!"
After seemingly getting into a discussion about trans individuals, the boy tells his friend: "Maybe they don't want to be a woman or a male - it's their decision. What's the matter with that?"
The two videos have amassed a combined 1.1 million views as of this writing, with many people taking to the comments sections to heap praise on the youngster for his comments.
"My son is 12. I wish he could find kids like him to play online with," one TikTok parent said.
Another added: "My guy, you are amazing! The way you automatically stood up for not only your sister, [but] for myself and [EVERYONE]".
A third wrote: "Omg he sounds more intelligent than more adults these days".
"We must protect this child at all costs. he is the hope of the next generation," another TikTok user added.
Elsewhere in the comments, people were asking his sister to share his Amazon Wishlist so that they could reward the youngster with gifts.
Good on this little guy, for not only standing up for his big sister, but for the whole LGBTQ+ community!
