Lesbian teen back at Miss. school after prom flap

Hatuey said:
Thank you. When I said states I guess I should have been clear. I'm strongly opposed to localized policy making when it comes to school. I mean I guess the school should have control over how things are carried out but ultimately it is a very bad idea to give them control over the way students should behave. I'd understand if this kid was walking into a prom wearing leather chaps and singing ABBA. But they canceled a prom because she wanted to go to prom wearing a tux? Oh FFS.

Basically, there were probably a few administrators high up on the pecking order who decided to exert their authoritah in a way that is completely outside the boundaries of their actual powers. You know the types...a couple of "preacher's wives teachers" that are the school busybodies and have their hands in everything except keeping their own house in order.

I guess you'd just have to go to a rural school to know what I am talking about. :lol:

I think what pisses me off about the entire thing is that now the blame is on the gay kid. All she wanted was to go to prom with her gf. That anybody can be so opposed to homosexuality that they'd cancel the entire prom to get their way is quite scary. The blame should be on the f'n bigots who canceled the prom.

I figured someone would. In small schools, all it takes is one of those sour faced hags that douches with lysol to stay pine fresh like a good little woman. She waits on her preacher husband hand and foot when she's at home and comes to work for the sole purpose of terrorizing all the kids that actually have futures and might leave that backwater town. And then when she's got an opportunity to get them all AND blame it on anyone but her own piss poor attitude and does something extreme like cancels the prom, no one stands up to her because she's on every single committee and it just isn't worth it. So now you have a whole class that misses out on one of the biggest events in high school...

The fear of people who are different is so extreme in some people. Thank god this sort of thing is rare these days. The one good news thing is that if this had happened when I had prom, the news would be that there was a deviant gay kid going to our school, and almost no one would have questioned the school either canceling prom or banning the gay kids from it. In a relatively short amount of time, the news is that the school administration is so ****ing stupid they cancel prom over something as trivial as this. We have come a long way on a fairly short time.

I really think why some on the far right oppose gay marriage so much right now is they know this is their last shot, that even 10 years from now they have no chance to stop it. The pace of change seems slow, until you step back and look how far we have come.

I do find it funny that this school district is being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century by an 18 year old girl. With dimples.
 
They could have just gone, and no one would have said hardly a thing.

But no, they have to add a tuxedo to the mix and turn it into a media event. Why won't gay people just be gay and stop getting in everybody's face about it?

It's like a gay parade. You have to have the obligatory few with dog collars and leashes walking on their hands and knees down Castro street for the cameras.

There was one openly gay guy in my high school when I graduated in 2004. Looking back, he had amazing courage. I seriously don't know how he did it.

Damn the tuxedoes, full steam ahead with "the gay agenda."

Those gays, always ****ing things up with their tuxedoes.

/sarcasm

Do you even see the ridiculousness of such a massive overreaction about a tuxedo?

I graduated in '83. I and my sister where probably the only ones who had ever even knowingly met a gay person in our high school, and that only because of having a gay family member.

It's not about the tuxedo, and you know it. It's about "HEY, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!! I'M A HOMO AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT! YAY!"

Because tuxedoes are just SO GAY. I hope you never wear one, Erod. We'll know you've gone over to the dark side.

So how is that any different from:

Prom King and Queen ("HEY, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!! I'M A HETERO AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT! YAY!")

Marriage announcements ("HEY, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!! I'M A HETERO AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT! YAY!")

Homecoming King and Queen ("HEY, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!! I'M A HETERO AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT! YAY!")

Constant exposure to highly charged sexuality in media ("HEY, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!! I'M A HETERO AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT! YAY!")

So what if the little lesbian wants to wear a ****ing tux? Are you that damned put off and threatened because someone steps out of a traditional gender role to make a statement?

Yeah, there's gay people in this world and yeah, they are tired of being forced to the back of the closet in a world where we are inundated with heterosexuality. They want to stand up and be counted. Get the **** over it.

There it is EXACTLY. That's what the lesbo was trying to do. She didn't give two ****s about going to the prom. She wanted her Perez Hilton moment in the sun.

And a world "inundated by heterosexuality"? LOL, uh yeah, that's how we all got here, buddy. Heterosexually! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Yeah, that's how we all got here. So why is it so important for heteros to go around shrilly screeching the obvious to us all every chance they get, buddy?

What is the big difference that sets you off against this girl wearing a tux versus the prom king and queen being crowned? Hmm? What's the big issue you have with the one that you don't have with the other?

Well, clearly, it will make it much more difficult for some men to date if this whole lesbian thing catches on. Particularly in Mississippi.
 
I don't see what the big deal about this girl attending prom in a tux is all about. Who cares? It was perhaps a bit childish to cancel the whole of the prom because people will know why it was canceled even if the school didn't call her out by name. That's probably going to be a lot worse than just having kept to their own bees wax. It's not like they were planning on showing up naked and having a lesbian orgy on the dance floor.

Look, I don't have the energy or interest in this. But I do have an issue with the whole "king and queen" thing, too. I think it's stupid, especially in this day and age.

50 years ago, I get it. Towns were more self contained, and communication outside of the community was limited to newspapers, sparse radio, and very limited TV. So people invented ways of entertaining and elevating themselves within their confines.

Now, it's just stupid.

Well at least you are consistent so I concede that you aren't promoting a double standard here.

Exactly. She's wearing a tux on prom night. Big ****ing deal especially considering she and every other girl at school probably wear's jeans, pantsuits, etc any other day of the year. It's all about creating drama for this girl because some backwater teachers are wasting time exerting morality when they should be helping to raise Mississippi's abysmal education record.

I don't know about that. They'd probably take pictures, and in this day and age that gets you thrown in jail for possession of child pornography.

I just don't get why sexuality has to be so front and center. Just live your damn lives, everybody, and shut up about where you like to stick it.

I live in a very exclusive neighborhood, and I have neighbors three doors down that are gay. One of the guys is our HOA president. They don't flaunt it, they don't talk about it, and everybody likes them just fine. And this is the heart of Texas in an upscale neighborhood in the suburbs. You can't get more Republican than where I live.

But no, most people have to be the star of their own drama and get the pub they "rightfully deserve." Especially true among the gay community today.
