Sorry, Dan. I don't agree. Does it suck this kid was excluded? Sure. But if people want to spend money on a party they have a right to include whomever they want. This kid is starting to sound more like an attention-hound and less like an activist.
p.s. i'm a big lesbo meself

"The parents didn’t want Constance at the prom and didn’t want to be sued"

Not sure that's going to work out for them....

This is a public school. It has nothing to do with the right of free association. People should be losing their jobs over this.

I hope their hateful comments on FB haunt them in college and when they look for jobs.

Get the story straight...... She was invited to the prom at the Tupelo Furniture Market tickets were being sold and the deadline was such & such date....... she went to get a ticket AFTER THE DEADLINE!!! I went to school at IAHS and even 11 years ago there was a deadline for ticket purchases and we all knew it, we also knew that you had to show up in appropriate attire, meaning formal dresses for girls and tux or suit for the guys, we had SEVERAL Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans gender students and never had a problem. Now, after the boy that showed up wearing a dress at school this all exploded. He showed up in a dress yes but that is not why he was asked to go home....he was asked to go home because his 1st week there he dressed appropriately rumor has it several guys asked about the new girl saying she was pretty cute!!! Then he showed up in a mini skirt, Stilettos and ORANGE (eccentric) hair. In the handbook that all school attendees get on their 1st day it has a list of appropriate attire and heels are limited it even goes as far as to saying no shower shoes (flip flops) and has a required heel size because some shoes cause a personal injury, like falling a breaking or sprain your ankle, these can become huge lawsuits to the school .

Is it a coincidence that she started all this ruckus after he got short lived Statewide media attention? I think not. All she had to do was show up and then if....IF they said anything then she would have had a EXCELLENT CASE!! Instead she made it known what she was going to do.

Also about the whole prom controversy, as long as the parents threw the prom they did not have to invite her that would be like going to a high end night club and suing them because they said you couldn't go in when we all know that a lot of clubs pick and choose. We find that insane to sue a private night club but its ok to think that the ACLU can sue on behalf of Constance for not being included in a private prom or party. And you need to listen to the kids they had no problem with Constance coming to the prom in a tux or with her girlfriend, even though it was in fact known to Constance before all this that her girlfriends parents were not going to let her go to the prom with Constance or anyone for that fact 1) because the girlfriend is 15 and Constance is 18 and 2) they didn't and don't believe in the relationship!! So yes I believe it is all for attention!!! The kids that went to the private prom wanted a media free night so they could have the same right Constance wanted and had. They wanted I place to be teenagers on prom night does it matter that prom night is associated with grinding on your partner and possible after prom sex, after prom parties no it doesn't matter. What matters is that Constance wanted a prom well even though it wasn't what she expected she still got it, with school officials attending!! Its the same as someone saying well I didn't EXPECT to be a mom at 18 but here I am with a baby!! And yes that is a person experience comment so make all the comments you want about Mississippi and being barefoot and pregnant because yes I was barefoot most of the time!!! But its all the same other that I made a life changing decision she did too not about being a lesbian but choosing to go to the ACLU before there was an ACTUAL PROBLEM!!!

YOu can bash me all you want but despite the media and all the people who are seeing this in the wrong light Fulton MS is a great town, yes its hard living there if you are different, you may have to be secretive about certain aspects of your life which isn't right you should be able to be who you want to be but as in every case of every person WE ALL have to show that we deserve to be respected. Just like a child that's of age has to show their parents they are trustworthy. NO ONE can expect to be handed respect. This town has a few thousand not to exceed 4000 or 5000 people!! Everyone knows everyone and everyone will eventually know your business I now live over 500 miles away and I still know the ends and outs of many peoples lives not because I go looking but because ALL my family lives there and Most of my friends are still there and like any other small town i get calls starting out "did you hear"? So before you start blaming the kids that attended the PRIVATE PARTY/PROM look at the real reason why they did and look at the parents reasoning too, the school was in the national spot light, the resource officer over the WHOLE attendance center was having to control the media because they were distracting the kids every morning and I'm not going to say they are only their to get an education because we all know that's not 100% true, they go because the law makes them. But they do have the right to go to school without having to appear on the local or national news. So come on people look at the real issue here a small town girl wants attention, well she got it and that's fine but take a closer look at Itawamba County we have had Dr.s , Lawyers and Ivy League Students. We have Military members, Gay Rights Activists and may more respectable people from the county that's spread out all over the WORLD!!!! So not ALL of us are back woods hicks that cant conform, we aren't KKK supporters at least the MANY people I know and yeah she would get some looks and whispers but its not like they would beat her down or run her out of town for wearing a tux to the prom!!
