  • - 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.
