Mr Langford's story has been so popular people suggested he would even make a good Prime Minister or 'early Australian of the Year contender'.
'What a nice apologetic Australian, surely we have all overindulged on a extra cheesburger or two and paid the price...early Australian of the year contender?' they said.
Another user said he had known Glenn since he was 12 years old.
'He's a genuinely nice person, he has strong views, he wouldn't hurt a fly.'
People could relate to Mr Langford's big night out with one Facebook user saying: 'I'm sure at some stage of our lives we've had a night like this, maybe not to the same magnitude but we've all had 'that' night.'
The organ inside the hall is supposedly insured for more than $1 million but may be beyond repair
One Facebook user praised Mr Langford for having the courage to apologise for his actions
Decorative wall was reported to be damaged and the pipes were also allegedly damaged overnight
Food was left scattered on the floor of the grand hall of the heritage-listed temple in Brisbane's CBD, which features one of the biggest organs in Queensland.
It is feared the organ, installed in the 1930s, may be too damaged to be repaired despite it being insured for $1 million.
Another Facebook user said Mr Langford seemed extremely sincere and hailed his courage to own up to his mistakes
The magistrate heard from Mr Langford's lawyer who explained he had last week lost his job and was getting over the breakdown of a 16-year relationship.
He was granted bail on the condition that he stayed more than 100 metres away from the centre in Ann Street.
'Things just got a little loose, I was out of it,' Mr Langford told 7 News.
He apologised to 'all the righteous Freemasons everywhere'.
'I did have a lot of cheeseburgers to give to the homeless. I'm going to see a shrink and don't drink,' he added.
Glenn Langford (pictured) was arrested Wednesday and appeared in court on Thursday in Brisbane.
