Yesterday, after Lola told him a boy at school had said it was “disgusting” she had a gay brother, Flinders posted this open letter to the boy on Facebook. He included the photo shown above.

An 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?6 e% c0 R8 f. H. R2 o
I’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.: c+ f. ~! J$ b5 ?
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./ r% T9 F' ^. y. {& P- {7 @ e
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.& G# J r# q: d: E. M# K

“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.”
