Mississippi school cancels prom because lesbian couple would have attended

John Green of Nerdfighters just tweeted an offer to begin a fundraiser to throw an inclusive prom for the school. When details come I'll post them.

Like many high school seniors in the U.S., 18-year-old Constance McMillen had been looking forward to her spring prom.
My advice for her... Finish school and get the HELL out of Mississippi!

Well, you're no fun

Don't you enjoy playing "poke the bigot"? I do... and it's such a target rich environment here.

This just in: Obama orders Dept. of Health and Human services to see to it that hospitals in America not be allowed to deny visitation rights to partners of gay and lesbian patients.


Wow. I was just badmouthing the president earlier today. Maybe I should lay off that for a while.






Or ... do it more often.

The WSJ article on the same topic...

Really?? Radical special interest group. <choke> <cough>

Soooo true.

Yep, I'm cautiously optimistic on this. Obama's big with words, poor with action. This memo, as worded, can only be enforced by the federal government - even if the regulations asked for are actually enacted. That means if a hospital keeps me in the waiting room while my boyfriend chokes to death on his own blood, there's nothing I can do about it.

Plus, oh I such a cynic, Obama's making an appearing Monday here in L.A. to promote Barbara Boxer's reelection campaign - and there's a big protest planned for his inaction on "fierce advocate" gay rights.

With ENDA and DADT before Congress right now, and nothing but words from the president on either so far ... this might just be another Easter Egg roll to mollify the queers.



I will wait and see.


But it's nice, as far as it goes.

A judge strikes down Arkansas' ban on unmarried (i.e., gay) adoption, ruling it unconstitutional.

Guess we can go back to the experiment of picking up stray orphans like they was puppies in your state, eh Mike Shmuckabee??
