Mississippi Prom canceled in order to keep Lesbians OUT  email this discussion to a friend?

A southern Mississippi school district has canceled the school prom following the request of a lesbian student to bring her girlfriend as her date.

The school district has a rule in effect that says students prom dates must be of the opposit sex. The ACLU caught wind of this policy and threatened legal action if the school did not throw the rule out.

Under pressure of the law suite the school district decided to cancel the prom for ALL students.


So what say you? Is the school wrong for not allowing same sex couples to attend their prom? Or was the young lady and the ACLU wrong for ruining the prom for everyone else?

the school was definitely wrong. they teach all sorts of feel good bleeding heart bu||sh|t in the schools alla time.. including tolerance for all sorts of rediculous things.. and then scream about a girl wanting to bring the one she cares for to her prom? even going so far as canceling it cause they havent got spine enuff to change the rule? hows THAT toloerance? should practice what they preach to the students *nod*

Hi Tee, The young lady only wanted to bring her date as was her right. It is clearly the fault of the school for not having an open mind and letting the prom go ahead for everyone. It is hard to believe that this sort of thing is still happening and shows that fundamentlist Christians are still a force to be reckoned with. Have no fear however, those who fight for human rights have always had to do battle with the church. We will win this battle too. Blessings.

Thanks for ruining prom attention horse. She's not lesbian, she's a high school brat going through a phase. She's only lesbian cause guys like girl on girl action. Look at her zebra outfit. The circus is in town. She only asked if she could take a chick, cause all the dudes rejected her. But other than all my rambling, i'm sure the story is much deeper than what they reported. I've never known any school to deny chick on chick action. Schools are full of pervs.

EXCUSE ME?!?!? angry

Well then you must #1 not get out much and #2 not pay attention to the news cause guess what!? Its not the first time this has happened...

AND being a parent of a lesbian daughter I can tell you that it DOES happen..the school IS NOT cool with it, many of the other students use to give my daughter a hard time about it and still some are completely ignorant to it all..

That sounds about right in today's society. A minority event happens and the majority have to change or suffer to accommodate it.

Human rights!! Freedom of speech!! Democracy!!

Well if you come up with a global policy that sounded good at the time, don't be surprised if minority groups make use of it and turn the whole thing upside down.

A minority event happens and the majority have to change or suffer to accommodate it.

This young lady did NOT ask for the prom to be changed to a completely homosexual event!!! She just asked to share the event with the girl that she loves!!! How is this causing the majority to suffer??? This girl has NOT insisted that everybody join the homosexual community. Actually, just the OPPOSITE has occurred....she is being forced to join the heterosexual community. Since you obviously don't want to be forced into changing anything in your life, what makes you think she should feel any differently??? All she did was ask permission to share a special day with a special person. She has NOT asked for anybody to suffer for her. Yet she is being forced to suffer for them!!! Why is her suffering any LESS important than the anybody else's suffering??? My guess is that the school kids could care less that she was taking her girlfriend. Now they are being forced to suffer due to the ignorance & closed mindedness of the so-called adults

Discrimination of the worst possible kind. The school was completely in the wrong and should never have made an issue of this in the first place.

The school was at fault. That girl had every right to bring her date to the prom, be it girl or boy.
