Guess you didn't notice the 'NO GAYS' signs. There is a time and and place for everyting but not there and not now.

There was a "NO GAYS" sign put up by the other students for the original prom before the school sent the message across that the choice is a "NO GAYS" prom or no prom at all?
I guess I missed that indeed. Please show me.

If your argument is that "she was not welcome at the prom anyway, so why should she want to go there" it seems pretty relevant what the other students thought about here before the school screwed this up.

Also, where did you read anything about a "NO GAYS" sign at the alternative party? The original article certainly does not mention anything like that (it does not even mention that there would be an alternative party:

Just so we all know that it isn't just "redNeckistan" grappling with this issue, HERE is a summary of a court case in Toronto, Canada from 2002, where one Marc Hall wanted to attend his Catholic HS prom with his 21-year old boyfriend.
