- Last week, we met two best friends
that were going to prom together,
Jacob, who is straight,
asked Anthony, who is gay, and their inspiring story
captured the attention of the world,
so the prom was on Saturday.
We decided to go along and see how it went,
and take a look.
- Hey, Ellen. It's Jacob and Anthony.
I just arrived at Jacob's house
and we're about to go on our prom adventure.
[singing] - Just keep your eyes on me
I said your holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
- The past couple of weeks have been really crazy.
- At first, I thought I was just taking my friend to prom,
and now it's like the world wants me
to take my friend to prom.
For a lot of people, it really touched them
to not worry too much about someone else might think.
- It's amazing that two juniors in high school
could actually make the world think a little bit.
- [singing] How it happened
We took the floor and she said
Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
- You know, as the principal of the school,
I am just--I'm just touched and I'm humbled
that they would show that type of act
of love and friendship.
I can't think of any scenario in high school
that could really top that.
- It was amazing having you guys on our little prom adventure.
Definitely one of the best nights
of my high school year.
(both) Bye, Ellen. Thank you so much.
