it is your high school prom, and it is up to you to make the most of it and be happy...

I helped plan the Pride Gala...a prom for gay couples... it was a really great event.

don't worry about your parents...eventually they'll see that you're not a child anymore.

proms are overrated anyway, just tell your parents you are going, and get a motel room instead.

gay prom dates have been front page news here in toronto for like the last 3 or 4 weeks. some kid in one of the burbs wants to take his boyfriend to his catholic high school's prom, the school refused, so he raised a huge stink. he lost in the end, which isnt surprising considering it was a catholic high school, which seem to operate independant of the canadian human right charter

If you go to a private school (and I think you do?) then they can forbid you from going with a same sex date, to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure that by deciding to go to a private school, many of your rights are almost "signed away." For example, dress codes are debated as being against the freedom of expression... however, they hold up in court since you could always leave the private school and go to a public one that has no dress code.

So I would assume that you may not be allowed to bring a same sex date because it's a private school and you choose to go there, per se. I don't know for a fact though.

yes exactly. what elizabeth said (then why do i bother repeating?) ...i think simply because alex goes to a private school they can do whatever they want. actually..you know, private schools aren't allowed to racially discrimintate though right? (bob jones university isssue dealing with interracial marriages or something?) anyways...yeah. but . i dunno. i guess as the law stands right now they can do whatever the fuck they want in regards to homosexuality. it may change in the future though. we'll see.

Wasn't this on dawson's creek?

all joking aside I know that you don't want to be political alex but if you end up being able to go maybe you will show other people it is not such a big deal to be yourself and that could be a good thing.

did you have your catscan thing?

I would just say fuck the fucking prom, BUT . . . since they've pissed me (and most of us and hopefull you) off, I'd go just to annoy them. I understand you don't want to make an issue out of this, but someone else already did. Stand up now or always be walked on. It just makes me http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/mad.gif !

ok. here's the scoop.

i've been talking to my parents a lot, and they seem pretty ok with the idea of me going with Daniel. they just are mad about me lying, of course.

i'm meeting with the principal tomorrow morning, and will tell him a nice little list of things i have.

i'm sure it will work out. thanks for the supportive replies. http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/smile.gif

oh, and NO, i will not be making out with Daniel on the dance floor. I will most likely just dance casually....no griding. i don't do that to anyone, anyways.

The exact same thing happened up here. It was in the paper just about a week ago. The principle of a high-school wouldnt let a gay guy go with his boyfriend.

So, I asked my good friend Daniel to go to my prom with me. He said yes, and got his tuxedo as did I.

My parents asked whom I was going with and I said, "Janelle Sealy," who doesn't exist, really. They've banned me from dating, seeing other guys, and pretty much anything sexual, but anyways, I thought that they'd surely say no to this...So, I lied. http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/frown.gif

So my brother finds out from me, and I usually trust him, but he went and told my parents yesterday. They called the school. They got the principal totally pissed off, and told him, "not to worry," because they won't let me go. They threatened me last night with having me arrested for running away and/or kidnapping on Daniel if I tried to go with Daniel.

So...we all got in a big fight...threw things, hit things, and called each other names. After a while, we calmed down and I gave them some damn good points about why I should be allowed to go and why it would be safe for me to go, which I fully believe it is. They said that they've reconsidered and now think it is pretty ok, as long as we run realllllly fast to my car after prom, which I was planning to do anyways.

Now, I have to meet with the principal tomorrow morning. I went to him today to see when he was free, and when I walked into his office he said(in a very pissed off tone), "I'm not ready to talk to you. Get out."

So...I'm confused.

Can the school bar me from going with my date?

Call the ACLU right now, the school is way over its head on this one.

Sometimes the only way to get someone to back down is to have pressure on them. In this case it would be the media and the ACLU.

problem is he goes to a private school, and they are allowed to decide who he is allowed to bring to the prom.

Yeah but if its a civil rights issue, it might supercede what rules that the school has.
