Damn. that is sucks and mean

LMAO I gotta say ur comparison makes no sense but at the same time describe this situation to a T

Fucking Outrageous

Homophobes need to burn.

Another reason for me to hate prom. Lovely
I would have wreaked havoc on the homophobes. I don't think what they did is right at all.

Sad, but the whole time all I could think was, "But proms are pretty boring in general anyways." May be she should just find better places to date, she's to good for their little jerk circles ._.

That is sad, how childlike people tend to act, even though they say they are old and wise or rather adult enough to understand to get it, specially in this case, since I bet if she went to the prom that everyone was act, nobody would even notice.
So sad how homophobic some people are...and how childlike they act because of it, because it is out of their boundaries of the "norm"
Hopefully she and her date ended up going off and having a fun time, elsewhere, where they won't be seen as "different" or rather " weird".

I wonder, there were 7 people at that prom, I assume 1 was her and another was her date, then there were the two mentally challenged students, so I wonder who the other 3 people were, and just what they did to not get invited.

Honestly this was utterly wrong, they are seriously THAT freaked out by an open lesbian that they choose to trick her and have a secret party, intentionally hiding it from her? I'm sorry if her being there would somehow have made them uncomfortable, honestly though that is simply the intolerance leaking out of them that causes that if they were more accepting there wouldn't be a problem.

I am glad for the two mentally challenged kids, they got to have a lot of fun and hopefully they never thought or cared about why so few others were there. Though the fact they would have been picked on says a lot about that school and the "values" the students have.

i also feel bad for the mentally challenged kids. at least they had fun. wtf is wrong with parents and people in general nowadays? if i was invited to the prom, i would have organized a whole group of my friends who dont discriminate against anyone(about more than a hundred or so) to come to that prom instead. make that prom even bigger than the one organized by the parents. we'll probably have more fun than them as well.

I wish people would stop hating just to hate and actually understand people are people, irregardless of their ethnicity, sexuality, beliefs, or lot in life. I swear, so many people just make homosexuals out like some sort of plague. Take it from someone that has studied sexuality in-length: It isn't.

Lol, blaming people for something they can't control? Cute, next are they gonna blame the sky for being blue? Fucking ridiculous. Everyone should be allowed to go to prom, and shouldn't be forced to. It is a right as student of any school to go to prom. Hell, they even let me go to prom.

Great post as usual, Lauriet.

I missed out on prom. :(

I'm surprised you used the word irregardless.

Shit, funny as hell.

I agree with everyone's sentiment here mostly, that it was wrong, and it's disgusting the way these people acted and treated the 7 people that were sent to the fake prom.

However, just to play devil's advocate, what is the worst part of this all in your opinion? It sounds to me like this prom for all the "cool" and "social" kids was put together by the students and their parents, and not really an officially sanctioned school event. Is the bad part here that they were tricked into going to a separate prom? Would it have been ok if they were just outright not invited, as if it were a private party, or would that be unacceptable as well?

Do you think the two students with learning disabilities would have had the time of their life still if they were at the private prom being gawked at and made fun of?

I'm also curious, if the school principal and teachers served as chaperones at the fake prom, were they in on the whole thing, did they know it was fake, or did they get tricked too? Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Sounds to me that the parents/school officials were attempting to "protect" their kids from the dangerous lesbian ideals. I myself don't agree with that mentality. This is no different than prejudice of the blacks during the civil rights movement.

Yep, there were gays and lesbians at my prom with nobody really caring. You got it right on with Mississippians falling into a southern mindset.

That's the bible belt for you.
