On the lighter side of this .... how is it that some people can *cross-dress* and pull it off and others can't? LOL ;D

That’s an old racist liberal Democrat argument. They always compare race with sexual orientation. They see black and white people as so different from each other that the two dating are equivalent with two people of the same sex dating.

I’ve come across “liberals” who are actually more accepting of the latter. They’d rather see two people of the same race together, even if they’re same-sex couples, than people with different skin colors dating.

These girls could’ve gone to the prom as friends. But, one wanted to wear a tux, escort the other as a date, and then she brought the ACLU into it. The school was right to cancel it. Would it have been OK for a boy to wear a gown to the prom? If that would be OK, then what about people wanting to attend the prom in jeans and t-shirts?

The prom is supposed to be about girls dressing in gowns and boys in tuxedos at a formal event. My friends and I didn’t go to our prom because, back then, we weren’t interested in dressing formally and going to a formal event. It wasn’t our taste. Should we have sued the school to allow us to attend in jeans and t-shirts? If it’s going to be an anything-goes event, why call it a “prom” at all? Why even have a prom?

These girls (and the reporters writing about this story) weren’t thinking it all the way through. The school was right to cancel it. Now the parents are free to rent halls for private proms. These girls’ parents are free to rent a hall, too, for these girls and their friends. No one is entitled to a prom hosted by the school.

She is a cute girl and should get some help then lose weight. She will then have guys lining up wanting to take her out and her journey into looney land will be over.

I agree, and queerness is a mental illness, but I can’t see how the culture and most people’s mentalities concerning this, amongst other immoralities and perversions, can ever go go back to normal. The coming generations are being indoctrinated right in the taxpayer-funded schools to consider this just another lifestyle, and everything possible has been done to “normalise” it. If anything, things will get worse-even when we were kids, who would ever have thought that kids in junior high would consider themselves “queer”? Next up-normalisation of sexual relations with children. Watch the cultural indicators in media, entertainment-just watch.

Just think, if it’s this bad now, how much worse it will be once the presence of God’s Holy Spirit is removed after He removes His Bride.

So the ACLU is suing anyway--it wasn't enough that the school called off the prom for all the kids, that didn't allow the ACLU and the dirty queer lobby to make their point and advance their agenda---not only must we "tolerate" their filth, we must celebrate it, support it, allow our children to be recruited into it.

Federal law GUARANTEES lawyer fees for the ACLU they have no incentive not to sue.

Take out the attorney fee clause (not loser pays) and the ACLU goes away.

Thankfully. When they first started, the shock value alone was enough to clap shut the mouths of conservatives. Next, conservatives took their words at face value and believed they meant "monogamy" when they said "marriage". Then the "nice" people tried to rationalize the irrational.

Finally, enough time has passed for a lot of the lies to have been refuted (inflated Kinsey stats, no gay gene, etc) and for many envelope-pushing lawsuits to have taken place, such as the transgendered bathrooms legislation. It clearly shows that they have no intention of stopping at marriage.

Conservatives are late to wake up to the need to spell it out for the unwashed, but even a late awakening can only be good for honing the debate.

As the war in Iraq began to turn the corner following the bold stand of George Bush and The Surge the liberal response was to deny the improvements and raise the level of liberal criticism of the war ...And when that had run it's course, and just when the all the signs were pointing to the wisdom of the surge approach they abandoned the hysterical political criticism to calling for the criminal prosecution of those whose policies had brought about the victory.

And finally, they claimed it was Obama's victory.

If people want events like this, families or community groups should organize them privately. I’ve known church groups to hold balls, and community organizations such as the Philippine-American Club. This creates a whole different set of standards for the youth, and keeps the ACLU and grandstanding dingdongs firmly out.

Bears repeating!

I am not sure I agree. All their doing is compounding one mess with another.
Personally I would let this girl and her girlfriend come, to call it off to the detriment of the other students just causes other problems. God forbid someone ends up hurt because of the fallout.

I’m not buying your rationalizations. Race and sexual deviance are two entirely different things.

And in case you hadn’t noticed, many of the dire predictions made when racial integration was forced by busing instead of stepped in incrementally have, indeed, come true. Just visit any formerly vibrant northeastern city.

Shh. You're not supposed to talk about things like that today.

Thank you. Given the regular bad outcomes at school social events, it’s rather surprising that schools are still holding dances at all. Proms aren’t even a big community interface, as sports events are ... more a nuisance at worst, a minor amusement (a crowd of prom-dressed teens at PetsMart?) at best.

School officials have encouraged students and their parents to organize a private prom.
