Same-Sex Prom Date

If you have been reading the news, check out Time magazine, or glanced at any online newspaper, you have probably heard about Constance McMillen. After my wife showed me quarter-page article and pic in Time, I went on a little hunt online and found 100’s of articles detailing how Constance is challenging her high school district’s ban on same-sex prom dates which resulted in her April 2nd prom being canceled…for all students. The articles also emphasize involvement by the American Civil Liberties Union who filed a lawsuit against the school officials and school district, calling them “defendants.”
