''Oh, my God. That's really messed up because the message they are sending is that if they have to let gay people go to prom that they are not going to have one.... A bunch of kids at school are really going to hate me for this.''
Constance McMillen, an 18-year-old female senior who wanted to bring her sophomore girlfriend to her school's prom. After receiving a petition to bring her same-sex date and wear a tuxedo, the Itawamba County School District of Mississippi made the decision to cancel the entire prom. They also suggested that parents of students hold their own private prom. (USA Today)
