Constance McMillen, LGBT America’s prom queen, was invited to the Pride Reception at the White House hosted by President Obama.
We hope that this reception will change the conversation, not just be an honor party, but a party where conversations and minds will be changed for a greater good.
“Tonight is prom night in Fulton, Mississippi! Constance will be attending the prom hosted by community members at the Fulton Country Club. The school district has said everyone is welcome and she can bring her girlfriend and wear a tux, so we’re expecting a great prom for all the students of Itawamba Agricultural High School.”
“If I had the money, I would move the kids somewhere else, somewhere they would be safe. I wish we could move somewhere for my son, somewhere a transgender teenager would be safe. I worry about him constantly. Everywhere he goes, he goes with me.” This was stated by Juin Baize’s mother during their ordeal with the Itawamba Agricultural High School community.
Not unfamiliar with the press, Itawamba is the same school that cancelled prom because Lesbian Constance McMillan was going to wear a tux and take a female date.
Again, attire and sexuality was an issue with Juin Baize-a transgender student who is a male and consistently wears female clothing. Baize was a student at Itawamba Agricultural High School for only 1/2 a day. Baize was unreasonably suspended, and since then he has moved on from that community due to their intolerance and disrespect.
What is happening? These are high schoolers who are exploring themselves and learning who they are. Its a beautiful gift to see students who are going against the grain in a healthy way. What caused harm, was the narrow-minded environment they live in. People saw something unfamiliar and they freaked out. Its disappointing that the school did not take on a teachable moment for the other students to learn about the real world and variety of individuals that will be upon them in the coming years.

Bleckley County High School’s prom will NOT be canceled due to a Gay date! A brave 18 year old student, by the name of Derrick Martin, was afraid to ask because he did not want prom to be canceled for everyone else. However, the school board is NOT going to stop him, so he will be allowed to take his male date to prom.
Derrick’s high school is located in Cochran-a small town in the center of Georgia changing winds with its recent decision. Hopefully their decision of equality will blow over to Mississippi, where Constance McMillen, a Lesbian student who wanted to wear a tux and bring a female date 1st gained national attention when her school board cancelled prom altogether. However, we are sure Constance’s bravery helped Derrick and his school reach a decision for equality.
Both these students are brave and we wish Derrick a happy prom, and we support Constance infinitely! Read more CLICK HERE
A Lesbian student by the name of Constance McMillen, 18 was going to bring a female date and wear a tuxedo to her senior prom. OMG! The school board must have thought this would cause the world more damage than an apocalypse! They cancelled the prom entirely, WTF?
According to reports, the Itawamba County Agricultural High School in Fulton, Miss., sent out a criteria for students in Feb. regarding the dance, and one of the requirements was that each student must bring a date of the opposite sex. Why is a statement like this relevant anymore? Its a high school prom! A momentous extra-curricular activity, attended by most, but once prom is over for the evening, its a memory, unless its the prom from the movie ‘Carrie’. Anyway. The ACLU became involved since the school board’s actions violates McMillen’s constitutional rights, this action forced the school to cancel prom altogether.
We forget the idea of education is to allow a student to learn about themselves and express themselves. These teachers and school board should be elated that their own student is brave and willing to be true to herself. McMillen and her date’s bravery would have taught so much to others at that event. A teachable moment lost thanks to the school board. :(
