Mississipi Is On A Roll...

Mississippi has really been hit hard this year in the public realm.  Or rather, they've been hitting LGBT youth pretty hard.  There have been 2 major cases of LGBT discrimination in high school from my neighbor to the south of home in the past couple months.  In the first, an Itawamba County refused to allow a lesbian student and her girlfriend to attend prom together.  When the courts ruled that the school was violating Constance's civil rights, they canceled the prom all together.  
But this second case is just ridiculous.  A lesbian student was completely left out of her senior yearbook because the school didn't like that she was wearing a tuxedo in photo that she submitted.  Come on, now!  There's not a single thing wrong with the photograph.  She's not flipping the bird, sticking her tongue out, throwing a peace sign, and she doesn't even have any facial piercings for them to complain about, all things that were complained about during my senior year!  It's a cute photo!  Not only did they leave out her photo, they didn't even mention her.  They just straight up left her out.
How can anyone think that just leaving a student out of a yearbook is even remotely appropriate?  I was livid when the photo studio submitted my unretouched photo for the yearbook because I didn't order prints from them, even though they promised they'd retouch it either way.  I feel so bad for this poor girl.  Mississippi's gonna need to take a step forward in time if they want to stay out of the public eye for things like this.  I know both of these decisions were made by local school authorities, but the state of Mississippi can step in if they chose to.  I think it's about time.  
On a semi-positive note, a Georgia student was allowed to take his male date to his prom.  I say semi-positive because even though he was given some level of public approval, he got kicked out of his parents' house. I can only hope that he had plans for college and to live in the dorms.  Maybe by the end of his first year, they'll realize that he's still their son.
