The story quickly went viral as countless people voiced their excitement and support that, even though Lescenski is straight, he wasn’t afraid to ask his best friend (who is gay) to prom. It went so viral that Ellen invited them onto her show.

However, things took a slight turn when Martinez’s aunt went to buy a cake before they headed off to prom. She went to her local Walmart and asked to have the cake say, “You’re gay, he’s straight, you’re going to prom, you couldn’t have had a better date.”
