A gay teen in California is going viral after filming his bullies yelling homophobic slurs towards him and his family. “I’m sick of being silent about it. So I finally spoke up,” Landon Jones told NBCOUT
California high school senior Landon Jones, 18, said he’s been bullied by his classmates since the fifth grade. But Jones, who is openly gay, said he’s no longer looking the other way.
Jones’ dad said the young man ran off and got in on the passenger side of a black Lincoln Navigator before it drove off. Jones told NBC News that he decided to share both incidents on TikTok, where he has nearly 700,000 followers, because “I’m sick of being silent about it. So I finally spoke up.” “ETHS and SVUSD administration, together with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department , immediately launched a comprehensive investigation to uncover the facts of the incidents,” Wendie Hauschild, the director of communications and administrative services for the school district, said in an email. “We can confirm that the person seen in the surveillance video of the incident that took place at a private home is not a student in SVUSD.
“Actions have consequences and we will keep pursuing this until those consequences are paid,” the couple said. “This behavior will not be tolerated and we will never turn a blind eye to injustices like these. We have a family to protect and that is our number one focus right now.”
