The ACLU is all excited about the little lesbian girl that wanted to go to the prom (tip: Hot Air).
It’s some bogus logic that some Mississippi court came up with that says the school was wrong. The ruling said the cancellation was a problem because it had the effect of “prohibiting Constance McMillen from bringing her girlfriend as a date and wearing a tuxedo to the event.”
Another instance where “free speech” doesn’t involve speech. And, to me, that’s the problem.
So, what’s the school to do now?
I suggest a compromise: Change the school nickname from “The Indians” to “The Fighting Lesbians”
Everybody wins!
I think there should be a prayer at the start of the prom. hehehe
I am having trouble coming up with new team names for thes PG site. Which is a good thing.
The Pelosi Pirates?
The Maddow Meanies?
The Rioting Rosies?
I CANNOT post the team’s motto. no way no how.
You know what’d be funny? If the lesbian chick discovers she’s just a chubby guy whose rolls of fat hid his tiny pecker all these years.
HEH! đŸ˜›
Is there a “spoiled brat” clause in the Constitution?
Marko, you just made my day.
Back in my teen years, we had a Sadie Hawkins dance at our high school. This is a dance for which girls invited boys, rather than the other way around. It was based on a character from a newspaper comic called Li’l Abner, FYI. Yes, I am that old. Dinosaurs ruled the earth and the first Star Wars film had not yet premiered.
Anyway, one very beautiful young lady invited her sweetie to the dance. He wore a suit. So did she. Other than jokes about a double breasted suit never looking so good, everyone had a good night at the dance.
I recall several couples that were female-female at the dance, who attended without any notice or fanfare. They may have been lesbian, they may have been going “stag” as it were, looking for unattached males to pounce upon, I could not tell.
Just a bit of history for you youngsters.
I don’t get it. Why would a school in Mississippi use the inhabitants of a Medeteranian Island as a mascot?
Personally, I’m glad the ACLU is all over the lesbian prom date controversy. It keeps them busy in the same way a shiny object entertains a small child.
Has the ACLU ever argued a case in support of the Second Amendment? Just axin.
Every idiot in this country has an absolute certainty about each and every one of what he believes to be his “rights”. Our legal system seems willing to recognize “rights” that have never previously been enumerated, and –having now established a precedent for discerning those rights– will then FORCE others to accommodate those newly-created “rights”, even if that accommodation infringes on the prior rights of those others. The sad thing is, very few of those who use the notion of “rights” as a weapon to extract concessions from society (thus giving their wishes and preferences priority over the already-established rights of others) seem to have a clue that they also have duties and responsibilities to that same society As an example, I would say that the parents of the OTHER kids have the “right” to expect that their children won’t be exposed to an “out and proud” homosexual at a school function.

An aside to Mikee-
I’m about that age, too. In our school, some kids came as couples, and others just came — usually as a group of girls or boys. It also seemed that girls always outnumbered boys, so girls who daggone-it-wanted-to-DANCE, would dance together. I don’t think it was related to the L-word. They never said No when a boy would finally work up his courage and ask one of them to dance. The un-asked girl would wander back to the side of the gym where the rest of the unattached girls were hanging out. … I’m glad I’m not that young any more.

Daggone – sorry for double post! I swear the first comment didn’t show!!! so I figured I hadn’t clicked the proper button, then –kaboom!– double entry.
“The ACLU is all excited about the little lesbian girl that wanted to go to the prom (tip: Hot Air).”
Have we seen an actual photo of the lesbian. Because, in fairness, they’re almost never “little”. Actually, they’re usually big fat heffers. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a little, or attractive, girl wearing Birkenstocks.
Just one thing, Basil, it was a federal judge that decided the school made a mistake. We TRY like Hell not to teach screwing in school in Mississippi. No matter what kind of screwing.
When lesbians attach – I mean attack – I make popcorn.
This is America for those who think that being a lesbian is wrong see you can use the word and read it and your little heads will not explode..
All this case did was confirm to many what a bunch of backwood hillbillies you all are down there..
So she wanted to bring her date.. Big deal.. And you poor bigots had a bad day with it.. Isn’t that a shame..
Now a court has said you violated her Constitutional Rights. So you blame every one, but the people that caused this stupidity.. This is called a tough shyt moment for you fool.
As this U.S.A. is a secular nation and not a christian theocracy.
Deal with it.
Did she contact the ACLU before or after she announced her intentions?
Sounds like a set-up to me.
That’s so wrong boyo, on so many levels.
I think the school system has just invented the “privatized prom”. Keep government out of the prom. I like it.
