NBC 2's Paige Preusse reports how Sullivan High School says there's nothing legally they can do to allow it... several students and parents are taking matters into their own hands.
Their idea is to create a separate...traditional prom.Students say there are several others from their high school who agree, but are afraid to take a stand.

Well, what world would we live in if we let go of good old [I]Christian[/I] values like unconditional love for fellow man and acceptance and support for the weak in society?
Oh...
Wait.

"'So the same goes for gays? Do you think they have a purpose in life?' No I honestly don't. Sorry, but I don't. I don't understand it. A gay person isn't going to come up and make some change unless it's to realize that it was a choice and they're choosing God," said Medley[/quote]
Holy shit this woman should be fired.

You know, reasoning from the fact that there's only a finite number of arrangements of 26 characters and a space and several punctuation marks, there is a limited number of possible things to say in a space the size of that quote.
That means there is a maximum possible amount of dumbness that can fit in the length of what you quoted
I think you've found it.

It's dying, it's just that some places need some help getting to the grave.
Fuck Indiana. I live there and it's all corn. That's literally all there is.

You seriously can not think that she should be killed for being bigoted.
Oh my god, did she seriously just relate gays to kids with special needs?

Well, they do have special needs. Special needs for dicks!

The way I see it, if they want to go off and make their own prom, let them. Less bigoted assholes at the real prom, more fun for everyone else, right? They're still fucking stupid and awful for even trying to make the school restrict gay people from going to prom, but now they're doing their own thing.

While we're at it, why don't we fix racism by having blacks drink from different drinking fountains so noone's gonna call 'em racist slurs while they're drinking.

Except this isn't that, this is the eqvuilant of a bunch of racist whites making their own "whites" only party down the block, leaving the blacks, asians, hispanics, and non-bigoted whites to have their own party. which honestly, I am okay with, and so should you.
It's not "good" that they would do that, in my theoretical scenario or the actual real one in the article. But you know what? If it is a private party and they're keeping to themselves? They have every right to express it or do whatever they wish.
It becomes a problem when it is their real prom, the actual school one, and THAT is discriminated on, but a private one? Let them have it. Racism or Homophobia is an opinion and an idea, and you best be better to defend it as much as you want to defend the opposite end. Because we live in a free world (or atleast attempt to). So honestly, if a bunch of stupid jerks and bullies want to be bigoted in a miserable whities only club? Than whatever, let them.

If this was just kids being kids holding a prom to themselves, I would agree. However, you have a school counsellor saying gays have no purpose in life, and pastors saying it's time the community take a stand and fight the gays.

Freedom should only go so far.
The freedom to inflict harm on another person for the fun of it shouldn't exist.

The kids are doing that of their own accord, if that's what they want, than let them. The real problem is the adults and officials who say this stuff.

But no one is inflicting harm, the councilor and the pastor while bigoted and stupid, aren't actively discriminating, atleast to my knowledge. You can be homophobic but still on some kind of human level respect them, or atleast do your job for them. Opinions are not black + white. (hurr)
If you mean the students, than they don't count either. Private events are private events. You're allowed to do that, they're a bunch of kids having their group and want it to be what they want it to be. It's not a public event nor a government one. It's a party that a bunch of children want.

But I did see a contradicting statement;
[quote]"We want to make the public see that we love the homosexuals, but we don't think it's right nor should it be accepted,"[/quote]
So they're saying that they want to show they love gays, however don't think it's acceptable to be gay, just makes little sense is all.
You want a traditional prom?
Why not ban black people from attending, ahh remember the good ol days of 1866?
