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

Was there any compelling reason for the school to cancel the event? Would she have jeopardized the event in any way had she shown up with her girlfriend while wearing a tuxedo?

Of course she knew that it's Redneckstan. School wouldn't have had a choice in the first place because of parent pressure. Missisippi is you know, kinda conservative. You don't have to feel sorry for her, she got exactly out of this what she wanted.

Of course there might be the slight chance that "what she wanted" was simply going to the prom with her date - not unusual for a teenager, you know...

May have started like that. I am sure it would have turned out perfectly cute, I don't exactly have a problem with hot lesbians kissing in the first place, two women is better then one. Look at it from the perspective from the school, how many kids wouldn't be allowed to show up by their parents? Given the hate for gays in these area's it could be a considerable amount, it would be a major scandal. Faggot-school this faggot school that they might even get attacked. You don't have to like it but that is how it is.

Why is it up to the 16 year old girl to be the adult in this situation? So the school adminstration is either homophobic or worried about the delicate sensibilities of homophobic parents? Its their job to act in the best interest of the child, not submit to local intolerances.

It could also be that the school wanted to spare everybody's feelings when they shut down the prom altogether, she put them in a pretty nasty position to be in. The school knew she was gay and let that go, maybe the school is little bit more progressive then it appears to be from this story. Or maybe not, never been there. Also consider the hint of innocence that surrounds the prom, kissing lesbians is extremely erotic, I would blame the place not the school.

Prom is pretty much the high of the year for them. So no, you are not going to spare everybody by canceling it. And kissing lesbians is as erotic or not as any couple kissing; it depends entirely on the perspective of the onlooker. So if that is even a reason for a decision to cancel the event because some couple might start kissing (nevermind now whether or not the couple is lesbian) means the school board should “grow up and get over it”.

(bold added by me)

The school knew she was gay and "let it go?" What action do you believe the school could or should have taken against her for the offense of being gay?

And sorry, exactly whose feelings do you think the school is sparing?

If all she wanted was to cause a fuss, you'd think there would be dozens of other things she would have done as well. But there are many people who only make a fuss over a single issue, and otherwise don't make a fuss. So isn't it odd to claim that she is just doing it to piss people off?
