This is a group of boys from El Toro High School who have repeatedly called me names, called me slurs, have followed me, and have now come to my house to say these things.
For what reason? I couldn’t tell you”, Jones said. Jones added that the harassment by these teenagers were done by people who he didn’t know and had “never even spoken to before any of this ever”. “They just simply know the fact that I’m gay and out at school so they choose that, and they hang on that, and they just give me that attention, that negative attention that they think is so funny,” Jones stated.
