The Mississippi school district that cancelled the senior prom rather than let lesbian student Constance McMillen attend with her girlfriend will pay $35,000 to settle the ACLU’s lawsuit, and adopt a non-discrimination policy. The only losers here are the straight boy-girl couples, whose prom still got cancelled but they get paid nothing.
Had McMillan been able to just attend her prom, general precedent suggests the romantic night might have begun with a lousy dinner followed by awkward dancing, and ended with getting too drunk for sex at a vacant lot after-party.
