These people in Indiana deserve the title of Most Despicable for their attempt at turning the Prom into a political, hateful day.
This is not a few students posting some random anti-gay slurs on their Facebook profiles. This is a group of students advocating a special "traditional" prom which would exclude their LGBT classmates. This group is being defended by special education teacher, Diana Medley.
"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," one local student is quoted as saying.
They love the homosexuals! They just don't want them anywhere near them so they try to ban them from going to the prom like everyone else.
I suppose it is nice that they are not necessarily proposing banning LGBT students from their real prom, just their extra prom. Medley should be ashamed of herself. She teaches students from a group that is often discriminated against an apparently thinks this is an acceptable thing to do.
There is a Facebook group in support of the LGBT students at Sullivan High School. When I looked, it had over 10,000 likes. I think it could be much higher. Go like it. "Support the Sullivan High School Prom for All Students"
It will get better.
