Constance McMillen's School Implements a Non-Discrimination Policy
Finally there is some closure to the Constance McMillen case. The Itawamba County School District officials agreed to have a judgment entered against them. The agreement ends a precedent-setting lawsuit brought by the ACLU on behalf of 18-year-old Constance McMillen, who suffered humiliation and harassment after parents, students, and school officials executed a cruel plan to put on a “decoy” prom for her while the rest of her classmates were at a private prom 30 miles away.
Documents filed in court today, school officials agreed to implement a policy banning discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, the first policy to do so at a public school in the state of Mississippi. The school also agreed to pay McMillen $35,000 in damages and pay for McMillen’s attorneys’ fees.
“I’m so glad this is all over. I won’t ever get my prom back, but it’s worth it if it changes things at my school,” said McMillen, who was harassed so badly by students blaming her for the prom cancellation that she had to transfer to another high school to finish her senior year. “I hope this means that in the future students at my school will be treated fairly. I know there are students and teachers who want to start a gay-straight alliance club, and they should be able to do that without being treated like I was by the school.”
Yay! Schools had way too much money anyway. - nm

I had wondered whatever happened to that case - Good for C.M.
[ In Reply To ..]Nobody should ever be discriminated against for their sexual orientation, race or whatever.
I\'m very glad she won the case. What\'s worse was the deception the school played in the phony prom.

Couldn't Agree With Brooksie More---rememberJun 02, 2015
DAVID BROOKS: First, if the allegations about the contact with the boys are true, well, we have seen that with the Catholic Church. We have seen a disturbing undercurrent in American life, I guess, and maybe in world life, of this sort of thing. I am struck, as Mark just mentioned, the whole litany of people, especially of that era, who were involved in some scandal or another. Some of it was sexual. Some of it was more financial, even Tom DeLay’s, Speaker Wright. And it was just all concentra ...
Lesbian CNN Poltical Commentator Defends Sharia.Aug 18, 2016
title says it all: “Here’s A Contender For ‘Dumbest Tweet Of The Year’ When A CNN Lib Says THIS About Sharia Law“. The title referenced a tweet by CNN’s Sally Kohn that defended Sharia law. One wonders whether Kohn realizes what will happen to her in an Islamic state that enforces Sharia, given that she is openly gay. The Religion of Peace site reports: Homosexuals are beheaded, hanged and stoned in modern Saudi Arabia and Iran….Five other Muslim countries also have the dea ...
Catholic School Rejects Child Of Lesbian ParentsMar 08, 2010
BOULDER, Colo. -- A preschooler is caught in the middle of a fight between religion and sexuality. Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School, in Boulder, has refused to readmit a preschooler because the child has two moms.

Obama Directs HHS To Establish Rules Ensuring Hospital Visitation Rights For Gay, Lesbian CouplesApr 15, 2010
President Obama has signed a memorandum directing the Department of Health and Human Services to establish rules that would bar hospitals from denying visitation rights to partners of gay and lesbian patients. Many hospitals currently restrict hospital visitation to a patient's family members by blood or marriage. Because gay marriage is not legal in most states, partners are often unable to visit their loved ones--even in emergency situations. Any hospital that receives federal Medicare ...
