Judge: No school prom but lesbian's right violated

[chowchig]

Did she say, "OMFG Guys I'm a lesbian and I want everyone to know, and I want to ask the principle for permission too!" ?

See most people who live in my town don't give a damn if you are hetero or homo, but we do hate people who stick their sexual preferences in everyone's face.

I agree with this.

Although I'm gay, I don't flaunt my sexuality in my school at all unless asked, because I don't want to deal with all the crap. I mean, I'm not going to deny it if someone asks, but I don't tell anyone about it.

So maybe she did flaunt it, that might have been the problem, I don't know.

I only tell people on the internet where there are no real life consequences. XD

See with you, I couldn't even tell. This chick in the story must have been making a big fucking deal out of it or something. I have no idea how many gay people are in my school, mostly because unless they're holding hands or making out with their significant other, you can't tell. There are only about 3 people I know who are FLAMBOYANTLY gay, and it really bothers me and everyone else.

The story doesn't really give us any insight into the girls personality, and is set up to get us on her side. I'm not saying that cancelling the whole prom wan't justified, but still.

I don't get it. Why f'in say anything? If you don't make a big deal about it then no one can get pissed off till after the fact any way. She decides to make a big deal, so they won't let her go, sounds fair. But Then she gets pissy and makes a bigger deal and ruins it for every one. That's definitely not how you get people to accept you, that's the thing that get people to hate you. She's talking about going to the "private prom" well she sure as hell shouldn't I'd be right there with everyone else ready to give her hell for being a jerk. No, I'm not saying its ok to be angry with her for being gay, I'm saying its ok cause she was jerk.
"Look prom! HEY EVERYBODY I"M GAY AND I"M GONNA SHOW YOU THAT AT PROM! LOOK LOOK!" "You can't do that" "SCREW YOU I"M GONNA GO TO COURT.SO NO ONE CAN GO TO PROM."
She should have said nothing or compromised. She could have just worn a dress and her date and her gone "separate" and then just hooked up there, not a big deal. Dress codes are definitely not a violation of civil liberty, if someone puts on a formal affair and tell you to wear x you don't come in your boarder shorts and Hawaiian shirt. We call it etiquette.
