Seriously

What the heck is WRONG with some people? (In case you have been living under a rock) Constance McMillen is a well spoken and out lesbian who wanted to wear a tux to prom and bring her gf as her date. Evidently this is a crime in the state of Mississippi. You can catch up on the back story here. The ACLU ended up getting involved and the school decided to cancel the prom rather than allow Constance to attend. A judge has already ruled that Constance's constitution rights have been violated by being banned from her prom. I've been struck by how mature and well spoken she has been throughout the whole ordeal. Here she is on Ellen: The saga took yet another disappointing turn this weekend when, adults of her town set up a fake alternative prom that Constance was invited to. It's like something right out of Carrie or a Lifetime movie. She showed up and only a few a few other special education students where in attendance. And again Constance comes out on top with her mature reaction to this devastating hoax. “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].” Bullying and discrimination like this is what leads kids to killing themselves in high school. It's totally dispicable that students, parents and administrators appear to have all colloborated to discriminate against and humiliate this girl. I mean, it's sad that teens could be so cruel, but it's not unheard of. For adults to behave so poorly is horrific.
