Constance McMillen Talks Cancelled Prom Incident on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (2010-03-19) [Part 3/7]

Additional Info

via Wikipedia
The 2010 Itawamba County School District Prom controversy began when lesbian student Constance McMillen was refused permission to bring her girlfriend as a date, and to wear a tuxedo, to the Itawamba County Agricultural High School prom. As a result of a lawsuit brought against the school, the school canceled the prom and encouraged parents to organize a private prom. The parents organized a private prom, but canceled it. A second private prom was organized and represented to be the official prom. Meanwhile, parents organized a secret prom to which McMillen was not invited and which most of the student body attended. The school district settled the lawsuit by agreeing to a payment to McMillen and adoption of a sexual orientation non-discrimination policy.
