Constance at LA Pride 2010 with Olympian Blake Skjellerup,
Derek Martin ( a fellow ostracized gay teen) and Richard Goodman
With your bad self....
Fuck that high school of bigots. They'll all be fat and ugly by age 40. Trust. Just ask any one of us and we'll show ya some proof of what our high school peers look like now.
Constance-girl got a settlement. That bigot of a school district has to pay Miss Constance $35K.
The ACLU fought along side our teen queen:
Constance McMillen will be paid $35,000 plus attorney fees to settle her lawsuit accusing her former school district of discrimination for canceling the senior prom rather than let her attend with her girlfriend. As part of the settlement, the Itawamba County School District also agreed to follow a non-discrimination policy, although officials said such a policy existed in March, when the dispute began. The district does not admit wrongdoing in settling the suit, which was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. "I knew it was a good cause, but sometimes it really got to me. I knew it would change things for others in the future and I kept going and I kept pushing," McMillen, 18, said in an interview today with the Associated Press. Schools attorney Michelle Floyd noted that the district did not admit wrongdoing by settling the suit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. "The Itawamba County School District believes that Constance McMillen's rights under the United States Constitution were not violated by any act, omission, policy, custom or practice of the district," she said in a statement. via usatoday
