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

They don't have to do it for me I don't give a hoot, but these people do. In my opinion she isn't defending her 'rights', how hard can it be to respect the feelings of others.

For the school board, it is very hard to respect the feelings of others, so it seems.

If she would be silently crying in a corner I would sympathize with her, since everything looks like she is looking for trouble I really don't.

You're turning the world upside down.

Going to a prom with your girlfriend is looking for trouble for the mere reason that you're also a girl? How is that "looking for trouble"? The schoolboard people are the ones looking for trouble by cancelling the prom because they don't like a girl walking hand in hand with another girl. And why should she be crying in a corner? She has every reason to be outraged. Heck, I don't even know the girl in question and I'm outraged as well!

Don Corleone said it best, you don't win any argument by forcing your views upon others.

Who is forcing what on who?

You're turning the world upside down again.

Have some bloody dignity instead clawing at whatever that doesn't suit your very specific needs.

She doesn't claw at anything. She just wanted to dance with her girlfriend on the prom, like any other teenager of her age.

She can be gay all her life, why does she demand this as well, leave some for the rest being gay isn't a right it's a sexual orientation, no more no less.

She doesn't demand to be gay. She doesn't want "the right to be gay". She IS gay.

Prom is a tradition like carnaval, no more no less. You don't have to go.

Traditions can change too, you know. Societies evolve. Discrimination is no longer accepted nowadays. That's a good thing too, if you ask me.

I prefer a society that doesn't accept discrimination over a society that doesn't accept gay people.
