Laurelle Mellet, the mother of Australian musician and YouTube star Troye Sivan, has started an online petition to garner support for an anti-bullying program aimed at LGBTI youth.
In the petition, Laurelle Mellet calls on the Australian government to extend funding for the Safe Schools Coalition, an LGBTI anti-bullying program that came under sustained criticism from conservative media and politicians earlier this year, Buzzfeed reports.
“My son Troye Sivan told us he was gay at 14. It made me nervous,” Mellet wrote in the introduction.
