Constance McMillen looks to the positive as she talks to the
Advocate about being the victim of a
"fake" prom.The school district invited McMillen and five other students to a prom at a country club in Fulton on Friday night, while the parents for the other students held a "real" prom just miles away.
"They had two proms and I was only invited to one of them," McMillen tell the Advocate. "The one that I went to had seven people there and everyone went to the other one I wasn't invited to."
McMillen says the school principal and teachers served as chaperones for the seven students that were at the dance.
Prior to the prom night, McMillen asked one of the students organizing the event for details and was directed to the country club. "It hurts my feelings," McMillen says.
The most disturbing part of this story is that two of the students that were also sent to the "fake" prom apparently had learning difficulties.
"They had the time of their lives," McMillen recalls.
"That's the one good thing that come out of this, [these kids] didn't have to worry about people making fun of them [at their prom]."
The lesbian teen and the ACLU sued Itawamba Agricultural high school for canceling their school prom after McMillen requested to bring her girlfriend and wear a tux.
