    Constance McMillen

    Short version of this article:

    • She wanted to bring a same-sex date (and, heaven-forbid, wear a tux).
    • School said no.
    • ACLU informed school board “you’re violating rights.”
    • School board cancels prom for entire school
    • She files lawsuit

    It happened in Canada (see Marc Hall) and was later made into quite a good little tv-film.

    Here is the website of the school board that cancelled the prom for the “education, safety and well-being” of the rest of the student body.

    Idiots.
