Cancelled Prom: Gay Bad Wolf?

I know I seem to be super political these days, I really don't mean to be. I just hate hearing the stupidity that people spew.

Todays topic is about the school district that canceled the 2010 Senior Prom, rather than let a same sex couple attend. Constance McMillan wanted to go to prom, to experience what we all had the chance to experience in high school, and for many of us, have awesome memories of. The only difference? The person next to her in a tuxedo would have a vagina and not, the apparently required, penis.

At first, it shocked me that the school would rather cancel prom than allow a student to show up with her girlfriend. But then, I realized what they were really trying to do. Ostracize this girl. This district is hoping that this girl will feel so hurt by her fellow classmates anger at their canceled prom, that she will back down.

HELL.NO. In no way should this girl back down. I am sorry that the prom was canceled, I am very sorry that this school district is so scared of two women dancing together. I want to hear one rational reason that couples can't not be same sex. And hearing "it's disruptive" is a homophobes cop-out, so come up with something better, OK?
