Seriously, if the school hadn’t raised a big stink would it have ended up being that big of a deal? I’ll be honest I probably have the stereotypical view of Mississippi as a northerner but I don’t think the younger generation is totally backwater and I’m sure a good portion of the student body could have cared less if she brought her girlfriend. But, the school and the parents raised a big stink…and I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the parents had their kids attend the “other” prom.

On another note, good for Constance for fighting back!

She was invited to the White House and all over the country, to several proms… She’s not only missing nothing, but they gave her more opportunities and opening more doors for her than would have ever been possible.

Oh, and Brian: I loved your conclusion and wanted to say “amen” but I thought it might be uncalled for

I think $35,000 sounds appropriate. Schools are already underfunded as it is and as much as that school did to hurt her feelings and infringe on her rights, the entire school system shouldn’t be bankrupted as a result.

That money is really perfect for her. She will be able to use that to help pay for college. And that’s a really balanced tradeoff considering what they put her through.

My only gripe about the outcome is that I feel the officials involved should be footing some of this bill. As it stands, they committed a disgusting prejudiced illegal act on this girl, and the state is having to pay. I hope all involved were fired.

I also hope that Constance sees that missing out on a prom with all those backwards ass people is not really missing anything worthwhile afterall.

I’m sure that Jesse is going to graduate at the top of his class. He is being home-schooled. MStoneManiac is a Bill O’Reilley wannabe. And Patriot1 is a textbook case. Reaction formation.

I hadn’t heard about the secret prom. Shame on those parents and shame on the principal. Stuff like this kinda makes me wish that I believed in a Heaven and God and Jesus. Because I would love to see these people when God tells them that there is no room in Heaven for people with so much hatred in their hearts.

It’s so hard to read those comments and keep from punching a hole in my monitor. The ONLY force in this world that is hell-bent on repressing gay rights is fucking religion. Without it, there would be no issue. Come to think of it, without religion there would also be no dumbing down of science education, no female genital mutilations or honor killings, no suicide bombers, and two buildings in New York City would still be standing.

Yes, yes, trolls, I know some religious people claim it motivates them to do good deeds and be charitable toward others. Guess what. I feel the same compassion and yet I don’t start my day thinking some invisible Jewish hippie is monitoring my every thought and action. This world would be a much saner place if religion was recognized as the social poison that it is.

See, you have to wonder what they also think of the special ed kids who were sent to that prom. They are hardly mentioned in favor of criticizing the “selfish dyke” but clearly those in charge don’t think much of those students, either.

How is it so hard? I don’t get it. One of my gay friends took his boyfriend to my high school’s prom this past year, and my school sets aside a “duke and duchess” rank in the homecoming and prom courts for our special education kids. Nobody raised a fit over the boys, and as much as I dislike my school, I admit I’ve never heard any school cheer as loud as I hear when they cheer for the duke and duchess coming out with the rest of the court.

Tolerance is not that goddamn hard.

When the courts ruled in Constance’s favor and compelled the school to let her take her girlfriend to the prom, the principal and a cabal of parents and students set up a secret private prom where practically all the students went, taking place at the same time as the “official” prom, where only Constance and her date and a few special ed students ended up going. The viciousness of this act, directed not only towards Constance but also insulting the special ed kids, really speaks volumes about the character of these “xtian” people.

It don’t matter what you or anyone tries to prove Mange. His last question sums it up.
What millennium are we in?
If you are talking religion then we are so far back that the bonehead cave dwellers are not keeping track.
When it comes to the bat-schite crazy scribblings of stone-age desert dwelling goat pluckers all you can do is throw out the ridicule and laughter, they are too frightened of their own shadow to listen to reason.
