If it wasn't so mean-spirited, it would be funny...

No - as a matter of fact I don't. Why don't you spell it out?

HER SEXUAL ORIENTATION naturally. Some people like their traditions, they shouldn't complain can't have everything.

HER SEXUAL ORIENTATION naturally.

How can she "impose" her sexual orientation by simply showing up with her girlfriend? If she planned show up there waving a protest banner and shouting gay rights slogans I would agree with you, but if simply showing up with your girlfriend already qualifies as "imposing" I think you lost me.

For these people that is exactly what she did. And she did it willingly, to provocate.

What do you mean for "these people". If for "these people" simply showing up is already equivalent to waving a banner and shouting slogans, then perhaps "these people" are the problem and not this girl.

Perhaps "these people" should consider learning some tolerance as part of decent behaviour just as other "people" learned in the past. As long as the girl and her friend do not do anything that would be different from what other couples are doing at the prom I still do not quite see the problem.

There was a case in Scotland recently where a school camping and mountaineering trip was cancelled because a disabled girls mother complained that she couldn't go because the terrain was too difficult for her to manage, due to her disability. I'm sure that made the poor lass popular with her classmates.

Not in the same league as two hot chicks french kissing. Who in their right mind would ban that. Some people would pay good money to see summat like that.

As I said the people leading the school are idiots, but she is the one being disrespectful of a valued tradition. It doesn't matter how we look at these things.

Again, how is she "disrepspectful"? By simply showing up with her date? I thought the tradition is that you have a romantic evening with your date. Perhaps "these people" are disrespecting the tradition by not allowing her to show up with the date of her choice.
I still do not see how the presence of a gay couple is going to ruin the prom. Why would anybody care? "These people" should spend more time on having a good time with their dates than going "OMG teh gays are ruining the prom".

You are of course right, but you don't see it from my perspective. You agreed with me had she been waving gay rights signs, how exactly is this any different iff prom is traditionally a boy+girl thing? Who is wrong, the one too fixated on old traditions, or the one not respecting these old traditions, that I will leave to you that's a matter of opinion.
