Even though I disagree with homosexuality, *I* still say WTF? The whole prom gets called off because of one request? Just let them go to the prom, geez.
@dougdiggerton "lesbians make people uncomfortable the same way nazi's might"...that's the most retarded statement I have ever heard. I really hope you're just a troll. To compare someone's sexual orientation to the genocide of millions, and then to equate that genocide to a discomfort. I'm really hoping you're a troll so that you're just immature and not this ignorant in real life. Also, we're not a "majority rules" country. Landmark Supreme Court decisions, such as Brown v. Board of Education, often went against the majority. Sometimes it's about doing the right thing. And as far as drawing a line, you make me uncomfortable just knowing that we share the same planet.. so let's draw the line there.
I'm not saying that it was right, I'm just saying that the school board was probably not run by evil bigots. Just people that didn't want to deal with the phone calls of why their son was watching two underage girls making out at prom. I completely agree that PDA of all sorts should be discouraged if it makes people uncomfortable. Life isn't fair, lesbians make people uncomfortable the same way nazi's might, obviously not as much, but you should draw the line somewhere and with democracy the majority rules.
