Harrison expressed heartfelt gratitude on Instagram for the warm welcome he received, noting that he was excited to be back with his fellow athletes, saying, "It was such a pleasure to be officially welcomed home along with the rest of the @ausolympicteam and @ausparalympics team this weekend 😊😊. Big thank you to everyone who came along to say hi!!" This highlights the supportive community surrounding the athletes and the joy of returning home.
Despite the joy around their celebration, the couple faced backlash from homophobic comments after sharing their kisses on the Olympic stage. The official Olympics social media account faced unfounded criticism when they celebrated a moment that represented love and inclusion. Harrison’s reaction to this negativity showcases his strength in confronting ignorance, stating that such reactions underscore a deeper animosity towards LGBTQ+ representation in sports.
