By the Book

Weird way to approach the whole gay prom issue, Nate. Start with a little passive-agressiveness towards the student body, waving the Westview High Student Handbook and asking “Remember this?” ‘Cause, y’know, those high school kids get their hands on that handbook and memorize it cover to cover, lest they run afoul of “the rules”.

Meanwhile in Kentucky, a real-life same-sex couple was denied entrance to the senior prom at Lexington Catholic High School:

Hope Decker, 18, a senior, and sophomore Tiffany Wright, 16, had already gotten their dresses for the event, but Friday afternoon they were told by school administrators they could not attend as a couple because of the church’s stance on same-sex relationships…When the couple tried to enter the school’s gymnasium, where the prom was held, they were turned away, so Wright said they held their own prom in the school’s parking lot.
