Mississippi High School Cancels Prom to Deny Lesbian Couple

I sent her a kind letter encouraging her to make this easier for everyone involved and just recontinue the prom
Being bisexual myself, I find this very disturbing. I am glad, though, that this has become a national issue and that so many people are supporting the student

Reminder that Charleston Mississippi had its first racially-integrated prom in 2008, 10 years after Morgan Freeman first offered to fund one.
I feel really bad for this chick though. People are going to hate her.

I think this is a cop out, the school should be forced to hold the prom or pay for it, otherwise the message is that because you are gay, be prepared to make alternate arrangements for every normal thing everyone else takes for granted.

Well... she's a ****. She deserves to be hated.

I think it will say that cool people accept gay people, and if you want to be cool and have fun, come hang out with the gay people in New Orleans, or stay home and be prejudiced and miss prom.

If a school is going to discriminate against certain students, certain faculty need to be replaced. It's good that those other people are stepping in to make things fair, but the people who caused the problem in the first place need to face the consequences. It's okay to be gay. You shouldn't be discriminated against for it. What if they canceled the prom because some black people were going to be there? They would all be fired. I think it should be the same for this instance.

I don't think so, I think we need to be done with this ********, once and for all. Ireland isn't like some super liberal country and this wouldn't fly here, everytime someone does this and gets away with it,in reinforces their idea and the ideas of others that this is an acceptable stand point.
The people with the signposts and the soundbites are looking for wins, if there were no wins they would stay at home and shout at their tv's instead.
Well, the lawsuit can continue, but it'll take time. Meanwhile, prom season will probably come and go before it runs through the courts. Given that the people with the school are being a bunch of twits, good job by the people at the hotel in New Orleans.

What the hell?!? The chick got denied the opportunity to go to prom simply because she's lesbian, and that means she deserves to be hated??? The school board (or whoever it was that cancelled the prom) are the ones who deserve to be hated!

I think her post was sarcastic.

Each of us must ask ouselves where is the line (religous/social/moral) that cannot or should not be crossed.
Would I have canceled the prom or denied the couple access to it...no.
If it had been someone head-over-heels in love with their 600lb. Duroc Hog & wanted to bring "the love of their life" to the prom I'd have said NO-WAY! Yes I know this is an extreme example but it illustrates that "the line" has been crossed.
Where is the line for me? I honestly don't know exactly. Does that mean I'm liberal on some social values? Yes I suppose it does.

Two dames whoppin' good timed scootin' beat blastin' goo goo cat eyed struttin' together at the prom!?! Why I'm no square- back in my youth we were dancin' the latest dance craze and jiggy-boo boppin' to the hippest sounds this side of the Pacific and beatin' it down all cuckoo clock style with moves like Johnny "Four Knees" Rubert, "juke box strut" and other hep cat styles popular with the kids on the music circuit. But two fillies at the prom gets this old jitter-rat all bopped up in the headpan!
I mean I draw the line at any confusion over who exactly gets to wear the corsage.

In this case I'm guessing the one not wearing the tux. But your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter :yes:
I just want to find out what it feels like to be frubaled by you monta.
The guy that offered to sponser the prom, he is the best! :rainbow1:
