The court case brought by the ACLU against the Mississippi school district which cancelled the school prom rather than have Constance McMillen attend in a tuxedo with her girlfriend was heard Monday.
While school officials tried to deflect blame by saying they considered cancelling the prom before McMillen’s request, for other reasons, and then blamed school disruptions over McMillen’s request, under cross examination they admitted that the reason for the cancellation was McMillen.
Both sides were heard in court today and the judge has promised a swift ruling.
Parents of the town are planning their own prom which McMillen has said she was unaware of, while the ACLU, with other gay rights groups, is planning a prom which will welcome LGBT teens.
