BuzzFeed News caught up with the John and Caden Wyatt, the father and son featured in the viral video.

Caden shared how grateful he was for his family's acceptance.

"I'm really lucky to have such supportive parents, because I know a lot of other people aren't as lucky as me."

John shared how, despite his conservative and religious upbringing, supporting his son was a no-brainer.

"That's when we really started embracing [the community], because we knew our son was gay, and at any time he could come out."

"And he needed to see that we were going to be able to support him and be there for him."

"There's a lot of Q flags in our neighborhood, a lot of Trump flags and Blue Lives Matter Flags, [but] you don't see any pride flags at all."

"We're letting people know it's a safe place," John said. "I'm not trying to cause any controversy in the neighborhood, but maybe there's some person out there who will see that flag and smile and feel safe."

Clearly, John's parenting has done the trick. Caden told BuzzFeed how confident he feels in himself.

"I was kind of nervous at first, because I didn't know how people were going to act, but I just don't really care what they think anymore."

"I'm just going to be myself."

Fortunately, the Wyatt's were happy to report they've had very little noticeable reaction since hanging the flag.
