Gay Victory For Promenade Girl Mcmillen

A federal judge has dominated that a student's rights were violated when her faculty

refused her and her girlfriend permission to attend its prom.

Earlier this month Itawamba Agricultural High School in Mississippi denied senior student Constance McMillen's request to wear a tuxedo and escort her girlfriend to the event.

When Miss McMillen challenged the decision via the American Civil Liberties Union, the school determined to cancel the promenade informing the scholars they would have to organize their own private function.

The case has within the past week grabbed world media attention following the Yank Civil Liberties Union's decision to sue and force the varsity to reverse the decision.

An outpouring of public support for the coed has since snow-balled - including an invitation to appear on the Ellen Degeneres's Talk Show where Miss McMillen received encouragement from the host and a $30,000 university scholarship.

Kristy Bennett, legal director of the ACLU of Mississippi, said: "Promenade is supposed to be about all students having the ability to express themselves, rejoice, and build reminiscences that can last the remainder of their lives.

"Constance features a constitutional right to require the person she's dating to the promenade, simply like several alternative student at any other public school."

On the court dominated the varsity's call unconstitutional but declined to force it to reschedule the event since a replacement personal operate had already been announced - open to all or any students, including McMillen.

The ACLU quoted the eighteen year previous in its announcement celebrating the outcome: "It feels really smart that the court realized that the varsity was violating my rights and discriminating against me by cancelling the prom. All I ever wished was for my faculty to treat me and my girlfriend like every other couple that wants to go to promenade

"Now we have a tendency to will all go back to to things like selecting out our prom night outfits and wondering corsages"

Several gay and lesbian students have since taken Constance's lead, difficult similar same sex discrimination at their schools in regards to prom events.
