Another interesting post from 365gay.com, about two kickass high school students who knew how to fight for their right - to go to the prom.

Judge Orders HS To Allow Lesbian Couple At Prom

Scottsboro, Alabama - Lauren Martin and girlfriend Chelsea Overstreet danced the night way on Saturday, but their big prom night at Scottsboro High School almost didn’t happen.

Overstreet, 17, a junior, and Martin, 16, a sophomore at the school, were told by the school they could not go to the prom as a couple.

With the help of attorney Parker Edmiston, they went to court.

On Saturday, just hours before the big dance, Circuit Judge John Graham of Stevenson issued an order prohibiting the school barring the teens.

Graham citied the 1984 federal Equal Access law which has been successfully used to fight on behalf of LGBT student groups.

Outside the court Edmiston and the mothers of the two teens praised the ruling.

“It was a big letdown” for the girls, being told they could not go to the dance, Martin’s mother, Connie Farrington, told reporters.

Both parents said the girls would not be speaking with reporters, and the media was not allowed into the prom.

But teens who were at the event said that Overstreet wore her prom dress while Martin wore a tuxedo.

Personally, the prom is not my thing. But I’d just like to add that my partner-in-crime in this blog, Celine, went to the prom on her senior year in a tux as well. Of course, a lot of people were shocked, but most were fine with it. She danced with a lot of the girls, who were quite supportive. I think it’s way cool.
