Overreaction Much?
So, a high school in Mississippi canceled their prom because a girl wanted to bring her girlfriend, and wear a tux. Seriously.
Now, I admit I didn't go to many school dances when I was in HS, and that was what, like a decade ago now, but I know people came to our proms with people of the same sex, generally two guys or two ladies who didn't have dates. And I know of women who came in tuxes, and by brother wore a skirt one yet (Yeah, okay, a kilt, but still), so the idea of dress codes that say guys have to wear tuxes and ladies have to wear dresses alone just strikes me as weird anyway. And isn't girls dancing with each other because there's lots of guys too shy to ask them to dance like, a staple of the high school dance experience?
