The entire issue rests on the fact that she is a lesbian. If she'd been straight, no one would have blinked an eye about her being denied a request to wear a tuxedo or bring a girlfriend as a date. It is interesting how the truth tends to garner the strongest reactions from some posters though. It's almost like knowing that you're wrong pisses you off or something...
I'll stipulate that the relevant issue is that she's a lesbian. Okay, that's the relevant point.
Oddly, it doesn't weaken the argument at all. In fact it strengthens it, because she wanted to bring her
girlfriend to the prom. It's kind of a date night, if you recall. Not exclusively couples, but mainly couples, there being recognized as couples, arriving together, dressing in tacky but complementary outfits, blah blah. That's what it's
about. She has a constitutionally protected right to express herself, even if it makes the vice principal at East Jesus High School feel all funny in his righteous parts.
And hey, looky here, the court agrees with me. Huh. I'm sure that judge doesn't know the law, though. Not really. Not the way
you do.
