I'm unfortunately American. But yay for men like him.
For context:
As an elder millennial, I kept my head down and quiet. I didn't see with my own eyes and didn't hear with my own ears anybody ever standing up to biggots/bullies either adult/teenage/child.
Not until I was 23 and learned to stand up for myself. Also helps I'm 6'2” 210.
Which seems to be the same time about everyone in my age group started doing the same thing....and to see the LGBT zoomers having a bit of a better time now then I did....I'm happy for that at least.
