Not being allowed into prom because of your sexual orientation or choice of dressing? I thought America was a free country.

i have read some comments about people saying christians dislike gays etc - i am a christian and my brother came out as gay last year and i have nothing against it - i do not believe god would love him any less - the world is changing and we need to be apart of it or at least understand that you can not help who you fall in love with whether it is someone the same sex or not

@MerichelSwan92 this is why christian people are disliked so much. god is supposed to love all his children,just because someone is BORN and sexually prefer someone of the same gender they are sinners and will go to hell? I dont want to believe in a god who discriminates. SEXUALITY IS NOT A CHOICE

[dmcarefuldriver]

@MerichelSwan92 So if the administration had quoted the bible, it would have been OK to discriminate against her?

What goes on in Mississippi ?? They have to ask permission for their date and what they can wear ? This makes no sense .. The only restrictions we had was no one over the age of 20..

[MerichelSwan92]

I'm a Christian, and (as many people already know) that means that I do not agree with homosexuality and that lifestyle. HOWEVER, I respect Constance for standing up for something she believes in. People who don't like homosexuality just because "it ain't right" isn't good enough anymore. If a gay is to realize what's wrong with homosexuality, back it up with what GOD says in the Bible. Since the administration failed to do that, Constance had no choice but to stand against it. Kudos to her.

@bunnyluvswolf yh my dad died in Afghanistan to and I hate how people still refuse to give people the freedom they deserve for stupid reasons

[vballjunkiie1407]

we had no rule about what kind of dates we brought ... we could go with who we want to .. no matter what gender or age..

[444pride]

Wow where is the liberty andJustice huh???? You know you should just change the pledge! I mean really Srop saying oh yeah this is a free country! Where uis our freedom huh??!!!!!!!!

[bunnyluvswolf]

i have an extremely close family from from louisiana whom died in afghan fighting for our freedom tht this school is not honoring.... i HATE it. they should just accept her for whom she is and i agree with ellen... they should just accept her for who she is not hate her basically it. she should just worry about making herself happy and not give a fuck what other people think just because she's not who they want her to be! i fucking hate that shit the worst out of anything!!!
