7-Year-Old Girl Stands Up To Homophobic Preacher

This video of a 7-year-old girl firmly holding a rainbow flag whilst a homophobic preacher rants to her is going viral at the moment.

Zea Bowling is her name, and Ryan Bowling, her father, is the cameraman in said footage that comes straight out of a community festival in Ohio.

Speaking about the incident, Ryan said that when Zea heard the preacher, she was “shocked as to why he would bother to come to the community festival just to be so mean”.

Since the footage hit the internet, Zea has been getting a monumental amount of praise for her actions, and rightly so. Any child in that situation could have been extremely intimidated – she held her own like a young adult and should be extremely proud.

The video has had over 1 million YouTube views and is becoming so iconic that it has even been made into a t-shirt.
