All dressed up and no where to go well not yet anyway. Senior Constance McMillen is a 18 year student at Itawamba County Agricultural High school. McMillen was all excited about going to prom this year, until it was canceled. McMillen informed her principle that she would like to bring her girlfriend as her date. The school board would never allow this. They say that it violates their policy against same-sex couples at the dance. McMillen then contacted the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), and they have filed papers with the courts to reinstate the prom. Even though the school says that is not the reason it was canceled. McMillen has had a very hard time dealing with the students at school, because they all blame her for the prom being canceled. Some students even told her that she ruined there senior year. McMillen says she has no regrets for asking to take her girlfriend to the prom. McMillen added that kids need to be true to themselves.
Come on people!!! I mean the girl just wants to go to the prom as her self. I mean yes she could of just not said anything and meant her girl friend there, but I think she is proud of who she is and that is great. The school says that is not why they canceled the prom, but who are they kidding. I mean it is obvious that they don't agree with it or they wouldn't have a policy about same sex couples at a dance. Which is stupid anyway!!! I mean you go to school and they tell you that you can be or do anything you want, but don't lie, steel, cheat, or be gay. Then there's the students that are mad at her, because she ruined their senior year. That is not right!! I mean she didn't cancel the prom the school did. The school needs to wake up, the world is changing and they need to get with program. Being gay is not a choice it something you are born with. I know there are people out there that will disagree with me, but that's okay that is there right.
McMillen is in the right in my eyes. People should be who they are, and live there lives that way. Why should people hide the fact that they are gay. I mean I have a very good friend who is gay and he hide the fact for many years. He feared that people would judge him for it, and he was right some did. Did it change who he was as a person, of course not. It made his life hell!!
Gay or straight, black or white when is the world going to wake up and realize that it is not the persons color, religion, or sexual preference that makes them who they are. It is what is in there heart that makes them good or bad.

First off: I do not agree with homosexuality.
ReplyDeleteSecond: I do not think the faculty should have cancelled the prom but they should have set BIG rules if they knew that they had homosexuals in their schools.
3rd: They punished innocent people becuase of it.
