That's one hell of a prom! Holy shit! Those kids should be thanking their lucky stars for the lesbians!

I like the $20,000 gift but think this part is a bit over the top. Hell, I'd have said I was gay had I known someone was going to just give me $30k for college! (For that much I may have followed through!)

My after-prom was cancelled due to teh gay, too. Should've known when she did that head-turn-when-I-tried-to-kiss-her-on-the-lips thingy.

Gas is starting a Fuck Dave's Ass fund? Should we set up a donation link on the front page to help his dream along?

Seems that they really, REALLY hate the gay.

A lesbian teen who successfully sued her Mississippi school for the right to bring her girlfriend to prom was left out and was instead directed to a \\"fake prom\\" on Friday, according to The Advocate.

Constance McMillen, her date and just a handful of others, including two classmates with learning disabilities, attended the dance in Fulton, Mississippi while most of her other classmates from Itawamba Agricultural High School reportedly partied at a separate prom that McMillen was not invited to.

McMillen made headlines just a few weeks ago when, with the help of the ACLU, she fought the school's decision to cancel prom. The school canceled the dance after McMillen sought to bring her girlfriend and to wear a tuxedo.

As part of a preliminary ruling, a judge decided that McMillen was allowed to bring a girl as a date. The judge did not order the school to reinstate the prom because it was understood that McMillen would be invited to a prom being held by parents of her Itawamba classmates. Instead, that prom was canceled and was replaced with the sparsely attended country club event.
Kristy Bennett, the ACLU's legal director for Mississippi, told NEMS360, that she was disappointed.

\\"Whatever we find will be brought to the court's attention,\\" Bennett told NEMS. \\"Whether it is in the damages trial, or whatever. There will still be a trial on the merits. The case didn't end in the preliminary hearing.\\"

McMillen, 18, said that her feelings were hurt, but that there was at least one good thing about the night. The Advocate:
Two students with learning difficulties were among the seven people at the country club event, McMillen recalls. \\"They had the time of their lives,\\" McMillen says. \\"That's the one good thing that come out of this, [these kids] didn't have to worry about people making fun of them [at their prom].\\"​

Wow, just wow. That is one classless school system. I bet after the monetary damages levied against the school goes through, there will be a lot of administrative jobs opening up.

If the school was primarily behind that, then I hope the ACLU takes them to the cleaners. God only knows what those kids are being taught.

If it was the parents behind it, that sucks enormously, and my heart goes out to the girl, but there is no better time than the end of high school to leave and never come back. I hope whatever college she ends up going to provides a friendlier, less-discriminatory environment.

The administrators will probably all keep their jobs and the school will be given a large donation by a private group of parents for defeating the homosexual agenda and keeping our schools safe for their kids to become Christian warriors for god. How these people have such a stranglehold on the country is beyond me.

I am a senior at IAHS, and I’ve known Constance for the last 6 years. Please hear our side of the story before you decide on our fate.
The party we had in Evergreen (the county neighborhood I live in) is 30 mins away from the school. we rented out the community center, hired vendors, decorated, and our parents ran the security/chaperone staff- but it wasn’t prom. Prom was at the country club where constance and 7 other students were. The reason the senior class boycotted the actual prom was not because we hate gays. We wanted a drama-free gathering to celebrate 3 great years and 1 lousy one together, and we wanted to lay low. We also wanted to do it without the main cause of the lousy. What people are failing to realize is that much of the fault of this whole stink lies with Constance, not her mistreatment by the school district, but her crazy-reckless need for attention. It sounds mean and horrible and like we planned it all specifically to embarrass Constance, but we didn’t. We let her have her prom with her girlfriend and her tuxedo and we went to party it up in the “boondocks” not because we wanted her rights violated, but so we could salvage what has turned into a total fiasco. As a whole we didn’t support her decision to throw the district under the bus, or her insinuations that we’re all just a bunch ‘a hicks driving around in beater pick up trucks spitting tobacco and burning crosses. IAHS is one of the top schools in the state and I’m proud of that, and I’m proud that we took a stand and just said you know what? forget it, we have just as much right as you do to have a party for ourselves. So we did, and now we’re getting flack because poor Connie’s ego got a bit of bruising. She’s playing the lesbian card to prove she ALWAYS gets what she wants. This time, we didn’t just let her.
Take it as you will, because I’m sure it sounds like we faked her out, but understand this- the decision NOT to attend prom had nothing to do with the school or with Constance’s sexual preferences; it had everything to do with proving we weren’t going to let her and the ACLU steamroll us into doing what Constance wanted. We flexed the muscle of the majority and we’ll suffer the consequences.

Being told they had to stop discriminating, I guess.

On one hand I can see their point. We have no idea how much this girl throws things in their faces. She could be a total drama queen and attention whore. I still think it's dumb, though. A few of my daughter's friends are going to prom together because they don't have dates. I guess that's fine as long as one of them doesn't want to wear a tux, right?

That some of them think they are doing the right thing and not being discriminatory is what makes it worse.

listen, im a junior at itawamba. constance is STUPID for blowing this up and ruining the prom for the rest of my school. some of us kids met with about 50 parents last night and they have gladly decided to throw us a prom at the tupelo furniture market on april 2. you would just have to live here to know what its like. theres only about 3500 people that live in our city limits so EVERYONE knows everyone. they dont have to throw us a prom, they volunteered to and we appreciate them so much for it.. AND to top it off, it is going to be INVITATION ONLY. so constance and her gay-activist friends will not be attending. they can go have their own prom because we certainly do not want any of them there.. i wish some of you could be here though. we have WTVA newsmen at front doors of the school every freaking morning. they flag us down to interview us as we’re coming and leaving school. im SICK AND TIRED OF IT. we are very traditional here so personally i think if constance doesnt like it here she needs to pack her stuff and MOVE. no one even liked her here that much in the first place..

i LIVE and go to school at fulton.

Could be, to be sure, but that's scarcely a "point". If they really wanted to show that they weren't "hicks driving around in beater pick up trucks spitting tobacco and burning crosses", they had an excellent opportunity to do so, and failed rather spectacularly.

This too. Some girls at my prom wore tuxes that were cut for girls. I wasn't complaining. :p

Idk, sounds like her classmates just got sick of having to defend themselves against being "hicks driving around in beater pickup trucks spitting tobacco and burning crosses" and just decided to say "FUCK YOU" to her and the whole thing.

Egg on peoples faces for blaming the school for that I suppose.

If they really wanted to show that they weren't "hicks" the students could have, you know, just asked the school to let Constance and her girl go to prom.

Also, let me get this straight. They act like discriminatory assholes against a gay couple. The media spotlight descends because of this. They get sick and tired of the media attention, so in response they...act like discriminatory assholes! Don't science classes teach cause and effect anymore? Sheesh,no wonder we're losing ground to China :p

I forgot where it was the Student body that cancelled the prom originally. believe it or not many people honestly just don't give a fuck, and don't appreciated being called discriminatory hicks because of it.
