How scary is it to live in Jackson, Miss? The entire prom was cancelled at a local high school because a lesbian student wanted to attend with her girlfriend.
Enter Ellen DeGeneres. She had the student on her show to call attention to this ridiculous outcome, and to the girl's surprise the talk-show host pulled out a giant check for a $30,000 college scholarship. The scholarship was courtesy of Tonic.com, a digital media company.
Meantime, back at the Itawamba County School District, a hearing is scheduled for Monday where the ACLU is trying to force the district hold the prom.
Well, I guess we won't be seeing any initiative toward same-sex marriage in Jackson, Miss. any time soon.
