A 12-year-old gamer has been widely praised on social media after he called out his friend's homophobia while playing a game online.
People are really happy how this boy was busting myths about the LGBTQ+ community to his friend all while firing shots in a Call of Duty: Warzone match, without missing a beat.

In the video, the young boy is heard criticising his friends for not supporting gay people and slamming their opinions about the LGBTQ+ community. He tells them that if someone identifies as LGBTQ, it doesn¡¯t necessarily mean they are gay, adding that the acronym LGBTQ stands for ¡°more than just gay¡±.
¡°So you just blatantly admit to being homophobic?¡± he asks one of his friends who presumably confirms this as he replies ¡°you know that this means that I automatically don¡¯t like you because that¡¯s really f**ked up?¡±

Talking to Daily Dot, the girl who filmed the conversation said they were really proud of their brother when they overheard him defending LGBTQ people to his friends. Adding that they talk with him regularly about LGBTQ rights and the Black Lives Matter movement, they added: ¡°It was really nice knowing that he listens.¡±
The viral clip which was shared by TikToker @bummblebee__ on the app got a lot of great comments. The kid got lauded by Twitter users as well for his thinking.
The kids be knowing and understanding naturally. The only confusion comes when y'all teach them to hate people who aren't deemed the ¡°default.¡± https://t.co/JtAzadym38

This boy is our future and it makes my heart happy. (Could do without the gun video game, but I¡¯ll take the win for right now.) ?

My son does this too. While he's gaming, I often hear him trying to talk sense into people about vaccines, masks, race and yes, ignorance on how people self identify. I'm glad that we have raised our son with the ability to articulate sense.

I took my granddaughter to ¡°Bohemian Rhapsody¡± when she was 11. When we walked out afterward, she said ¡°I don¡¯t understand, why did anyone care if he was gay?¡± I explained to her how it was during the 80¡¯s. She said ¡°that¡¯s the stupidest thing I¡¯ve ever heard.¡±

Many who have viewed the video have suggested that they used their newfound success to raise money so their brother can buy a proper gaming chair.
Well, this guy totally deserves one.
