To Joe Willie: You aren't too bright to think that the gay community is always looking for handouts. I am a straight lady and I see far more straight people looking for handouts, than that of those that are not. Many, many gay people are very well respected, very successful in life and my bet....many are more so than yourself. This girl is a part of the school, as well as those that were disabled in some form. They should be allowed to go to a school function as much as any other student. Shame on You....and shame on the school system.

Good job!

Our country needs to let go of their old morals and begin to open their eyes to a newer generation. This is 2010. What gives anyone the right to dictate the lives of others? By doing this it makes you no better than Adolf Hitler. The constitution protects a person's Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Why can't we let people be themselves?

Stop telling people it's immoral. Yes it may be immoral to you but it may not be to another. Let someone enjoy their lives without fear of discrimination. How would you have liked it if your prom did not allow White people or people under 5 foot 11. Alot of people would not be allowed to attend over stupid reasons.

Everyone deserves the right to be happy. Enough said.

I'm so glad that somebody who can do something about this stupid, close-minded injustice actually is. Prom is for EVERY student, not just the "normal" ones. Just because someone (in this case Constance) doesn't fit into her community's idea of what is regular, doesn't give them a right to oust her from a community event. She lives there, she isn't hurting a soul, and she has just as much of a right to live their as they do. It makes me happy that at least someone gives enough of a hoot about this situation to give this girl, and anyone else who wants it, a second chance at living life with the same opportunities as her peers.

This is going to be the coolest prom EVER and you can tell by all the moronic,nasty,hateful jerk comments that its opponents are JEALOUS as hell!!! Leave it to the gay community to pull together yet another "IT" event that the 'normal' bores couldn't pull off in a million years (and still invite EVERYONE)! Congrats kids! It's gonna rock and anyone who DOESN'T Attend will suddenly become the NOBODIES that they really are!!!

Another shining moment from the So So Educated Christian Loving Bible Thumping Racists Homo phobics and Hypocrites of the South.
If they only knew how many of their right wing christian coalition republican neighbors were secretly in the closet. How many parents from that school have no idea that their own son or daughter is struggling right now with their own sexuality.
For the time it took to plan a DECOY prom they could have had a school awareness seminar to let the closed minded citizens of Itawamba come to grips that it's 2010 and you are now the MINORITY. The rest of the country has slowly over time adopted the philosophy that people are not all from the same cookie cutter molds that you so desperately and ignorantly cling too. What is even MORE hypocritical is all of those same students who SO STRONGLY OPPOSED the lesbians at their prom will be the FIRST in line to the second chance prom. Mississippi....way to keep perpetuating that tired old myth that y'all are a bunch of ignorant trailer park trash.

Ah..Let me guess. You're one of those people that thinks homosexuality is a choice, am I right? Okay, let me dumb this down for ya because you're obviously a backwater idiot. No they haven't definitively proved that it's not a choice or that it's caused by a so called "gay gene". But you gotta think about it. With all the people that get assaulted and sometimes killed just for being gay. Don't you think that if they were able to choose whether or not they were gay, they'd choose to be straight, just to avoid all that?

The story start that this shocked all of us. I am sorry it did not shock me. It again was one of those many things that happen in life but because she went out in the world spreading her problem that all of these came up with thing to keep her happy. Sorry that is not the way that life is suppose to be. We make our choise and if we don't get out way we don't expect the whole world to give it to us.
She played the game and won this time, but what will happen the next time she is told no she can't do that?

By the way, for those interested, if you sometimes post comments on Pop Eater, they will censor what you say, and not just for vulgarities. If the comment is not PC enough and disagrees with what they think, they will not post it. I found it ironic in that the place I tested this idea was on the article on Muslim censorship, via threats of violence (surprise, surprise), of South Park. So just be aware that Pop Eater is into censorship big time. I have been repeatedly testing the popeater comments section and they also censor any negative comments about themselves, such as this. Apparently they are ashamed of what they are doing and trying to hide it.

Discrimination still alive and well in the 21st century. My 18 year old son said to me just today that in 30 years all the racists and bigots will hopefully be dead and we can all coexist (he's dreaming, they are raising more....but I digress). He is straight, btw, as I am.

And exoticdoc2 - BIG difference between gays and pedophiles, murderers, etc. I do not believe that most gays choose their sexuality. You say that: quote:

"Likewise, pedophiles are now adopting the homosexual excuse. Are they to be given a pass because they are predisposed to lusting after children? " along with rapists and murderers....

Um....gays "acting on their impulse" are not harming anyone. Pedophiles are. What a stupid comment.

I love it when ignorant people are TOO dumb to spell correctly and then display their stupidity for the whole world to see. Way to go, Willy!!

It's not the kids's fault in this case, its the adults. The apple does not fall far from the tree people. But I am glad she is getting a second chance. I am sure the rest of the students don't care what her sexuality is. They just want to have a blast now.

You are only hurting yourself. You disobey God's word and follow these activist groups that tell you it's okay to be gay....well it is not and some day you will realize that and because your name has been so splattered all over the internet now, no straight guy will ever want you......What a shame.

exoticdoc2 - You're an idiot with the IQ of a soap dish.

Cooper - Religeon and a person's sexual orientation are quite different. Ghandi put it perfectly when he said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." You're the perfect example of this quote. And by the way, you will never have to worry about your "brain falling out", your thick skull won't allow for that almond sized gem to be harmed.
