Recently in the media there was a story about, well, prom. There is a school in Mississippi in which a female student their wanted to bring her girlfriend. The school found out before hand and tried to fight her being able to bring another girl, but lost. The kicker to the story is, when the school realized they had to allow the two girls to go together, they organized an 'alternate prom' in which they invited nearly the entire school, this 'alternate prom' happened to be on the same night at the actual prom, in which only the two girls and some of the mentally handicapped students attended. There hasn't been any further development in the story due to the fact that the school technically didn't do anything illegal, the 'alternate prom' was organized by 'parents' and not the school,so only certain people being invited was technically not an offense that could be taken anywhere. This article wasn't so much on the idea of gender as it was on the idea of acceptance, there are without a doubt more schools that are prejudice against gay couples, the question comes in when we decide to be tolerant.
