The post, in full, reads:
) c* I% b' p: WAn open letter to the odious little toad who gave my baby sister a hard time for having a gay big brother. I just wanted to give an example of what a decent upbringing looks like. This is a photo I took of us at the gay pride parade, which she asked to attend with me. I think that’s pretty cool of an eleven year old, don’t you?
+ j) w7 U/ L6 y. U3 WI’ve never known such an accepting, compassionate, loving child and I don’t want your hate-filled existence making her any less than she is.
L8 x6 y3 {$ X3 R4 W) K, ?I’m not confrontational but this is a nerve I wouldn’t touch if I were you. Thankfully, you’re a dying breed and I imagine this is the last generation that’ll have to endure narrow-minded tools.. w, B- o2 u9 Z# I9 R O
I think she’s pretty great and she’s prouder than ever to tell people her brother is gay. So enjoy spreading hate to nobody that gives a toss.

One of the comments was from Flinders’ mother, Debra Brown, who said:3 P+ j- C( e3 E9 N; b5 d
“You have to feel a bit (and only a teeny weeny bit) sorry for kids like the ‘odious toad’ mentioned…because they weren’t born homophobic; they are obviously being influenced by family members…I am so proud of you as my son and as a really lovely, hardworking, intelligent and extremely funny bloke. I am equally proud of my little Lola, who is the sweetest and sassiest girl I know.”
