In an article I just read. stated that a school would not allow this teenage girl to take her same-sex girlfriend to prom, or allow her to wear a tux.
Now while first reading this, I'm outraged! What should it matter if she takes her girlfriend to prom, and whats it matter what she wears! It turns out shes been openly gay since the 8th grade. that right there should be something where u know she isn't just doing it for the spot light. it takes courage to be openly gay in a small town as it is.
so because she wasn't allowed she took her school to court. Because of that, her school then cancelled prom! CANCELLED PROM! they called prom, "School officials said in U.S. District Court this week that they decided to cancel it because McMillen's challenge to the rules had caused disruptions."
So I'm still not sure how I feel about the situation.
Because apparently this rule has been stated for a while. This just wansn't something they made up after hearing what she wanted to do.
I almost feel like she should have sucked it up, and been like well this sucks. Oh well. But i can understand how unfar it really is, and how i'm impressed that she took a stand for what she believes in.
Now i dont find it fair what the school did. but canncelleing prom.
I almost just want the school, to let her go. I mean I'm sure her and her girlfriend were'nt gonna makeout..and besides girls dance with girls all the time. I think it was more the fact that she was "stereo-typed" what she is.
