Constance McMillen, the courageous lesbian teen who sued her Mississippi school for canceling prom after she requested to bring her girlfriend, has reportedly been the victim of a cruel hoax.
After the 18-year-old senior lost in court when the ACLU requested that her Itawamba Agricultural high school prom be reinstated, she was promised a parent-sponsored event for her and her classmates.
The school district attorney invited the teen and all the other students to a prom at the country club on Friday night, but there was no prom.
According to SDGLN, several adults in the school district tricked McMillen into attending a fake prom at a country club in Fulton. McMillen, her girlfriend and seven other students showed up at the sparse event, while hundreds of kids held a "real" prom on the other side of town at a secret location.
On the Facebook page "Let Constance Take Her Girlfriend to Prom!" was this notice:
"On Friday night, Constance and her date went to the prom the school had said would be held for all IAHS juniors and seniors, only to find an event that was very sparsely attended, as detailed in this blogger's account. Constance tried to make the best of it and had a nice evening with the other students from her school who attended, but is of course disappointed that so few of her classmates were there."
