While Troye has not responded personally to the backlash, his mother Laurelle Mellet said that those involved in the campaign are "taking it all onboard". "It’s wonderful that we are all so passionate and concerned about such a vital matter that is so critically important to us all," she said. "We will continue to push for safe environments in schools and other areas. We look forward to your input and support as we move forward in the hope that things will change for the better."
