Lesbian Teen Suing School Over Prom

March 15, 2010 | ISSUE 46•11

A Mississippi high school senior is filing suit against her local school board, which canceled its prom after she challenged its policy against same-sex dates. What do you think?

I'll put up streamers and play Black Eyed Peas all night if they want to come over to my house and kiss."

David Pierson
Systems Analyst
I have to say, canceling the prom was a pretty ingenious way for the school to make it seem like the girl is the bad guy in this situation."

Natalia Cohen
Safety Inspector
Obviously, you can't have a lesbian couple at prom. Their softball cleats would ruin the gym floor."
