Teen Lesbian Gets Sent To Fake Prom

Huffington Post-  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]."

I got to be honest, I only read this story because it had "lesbian teen" in the title. Okay first, the prom is like the most overblown event in High School. Everyone acts like it's the fucking Oscars, but the pictures dont lie, everyone looks like a dweeb because you're 18 and you don't know how to rock a tux properly or the girls looking frumpy in the only thing their dad would let them wear out of the house. Proms are all about awkward. So why not let a couple of lesbians into the....oh wait, this is in Mississippi? Well no shit honey. What'd you expect, you were gonna show up with KD Lang Jr. and everyone would say "Oh look, what a brave girl. Good for her, hey while we're at it lets take the stars and bars off our state flag and teach evolution instead of Genesis."
Look Constance, you live smack dab in the smallest minded State in the Union. Across the tracks from Cornpone Hick Station in the corner of Shitkicker Valley. No one is happy there. And I know it sucks having not only the entire school, but their parents give you the "Constance, This is Mohammed, Juggdish, Sidney and Clayton." treatment. But drop the ACLU shit. You've already won. After a prank this shitty, you have the perfect excuse to never go back. Plus, your best days are ahead of you. You're already out of the closet. No speech to your parents, or spending your first semester in college experimenting. You get to hit the ground running from the first day you step on campus as a full fledged gay woman. You're life is about to be one big Indigo Girls concert.
