A high school prom was canceled in Jackson, Mississippi because a girl wanted to wear a tuxedo and bring her girlfriend. You can't make this stuff up. You have to really think on this because the story, at least to me, isn't about a girl whom wanted to wear a tuxedo. It's not about a high school senior being a lesbian. To me, it's about the location where this story is taking place. My God in heaven can you imagine what the rednecks in Mississippi are thinking when they hear that a girl wants to date another girl?
"She wanna what? Take a girlfriend to prom? That just ain't right. Why don't she wanna wear a dress? Girls got no business wearin' a tuxedo, huggin' on another girl. It ain't Christian. And they they can spread they sin on the rest them keeeds. Don't they know that? Just aint' right. Get the bible, we goin' that girls house to save 'er. Lord I hope it ain't too late."
I'm sure someone said something close to that during a recent discussion about the situation, down in Mississippi.
Now, I'm not from Mississippi but I'd take a guess that there are more 6 year old children with shotguns and double digit animal kills than there are lesbians around there. You have to wonder what it's like for the 2 girls that are no doubt being blamed for the cancellation of such an overrated experience as Prom. Talk about being on an secluded island. Threats must be runnin' wild. Screams of, "We hate you", to, "Why don't you go live in another state, like Memphis?", are probably thrown around daily. The school board members are the real losers in all of this. Seriously, why should they care if the girl wants to wear a tuxedo? It's one night, held in a barn, gym, or the local Double Tree Hotel. Most of the kids will be too drunk to care anyway. If the board wanted to make a statement announcing that they hated gays, they could've banned "Macho Man" or "I'm Too Sexy" or "YMCA" from the playlist at prom. Instead they resort to hiding behind their religious beliefs and create a drama that Soap Opera writers would be proud of. Now they've lined up the 2 girls to be verbally stoned each day at school because "they" ruined prom.
Congrats adults.
I'm sure there's one mother (a former prom queen and shell of her former self) whom has led the charge against the powerful lesbian insurgents. I've met this "woman", as I'm sure many of you have. She trains her daughter in the art of persecution. Her little girl ends up building her popularity on the foundation of promiscuity and everyone knows it but her. She meddles in everyone's business, nosing around to scrape together the latest dirt on high school kids. She acts like she's been charge by Yahweh himself to find and destroy all that she deems unholy. She has friends, but they all hate her secretly. A sad, wretched woman. If this describes you or your mom, that's a bummer. Tough way to find out you're terrible at life.
Look, I'm not an advocate for or against the gay community. I could care less. But I love hearing about stuff just like this. With so many problems in the world, something as insignificant as a girl in a tuxedo can really cause such a uproar? It's amazing. Let it go already. I guess it wouldn't be Mississippi if they weren't persecuting someone.
There is, however, a silver lining in the decision to cancel prom; at least it takes away a prime opportunity for dumb redneck seniors to conceive more dumb redneck babies.
