Straight Teen And Gay Best Friend Who Went To Prom Together Go On "Ellen," Get $10,000 Scholarships
Earlier this month we broke the story of Jacob Lescenski, a straight Las Vegas high-schooler, who asked his gay best friend, Anthony Martinez to prom.
Anthony, a student council member who works tirelessly for their school, had trouble finding a date.
With a day, the story blew up and the boys went viral.
Today, Jacob and Anthony are appearing on The Ellen Show, to talk about their experience Ellen teamed up with Shutterfly to reward these boys for showing the world what true friendship is, but giving them each $10,000 toward their college education.
We'd like to think we had a little hand in making it happen, but really it was all Jacob and Anthony. Congrats!
