Sullivan High School in Indiana is fighting to reinstate a "traditional" prom. I find this unbelievable. Segregation is never okay, and in my opinion, religion should remain separate of education. Besides, public high school has many other problems much more dire than the presence of gay students -- seriously?
What about grinding? Many consider grinding a form of public intimacy. Or drugs? Why is the focus on gay students?
I hope this story reaches millions of people and invokes a feeling of community. Teens struggling with their sexuality should realize that there are so many other people who will support them. This discriminatory school seems to be the outlier. In light of Valentine's Day tomorrow, I hope people learn to move past these barriers. The point is not who you love, but how you love (cheesy, I know).
