Prom Season: What LGBTQ Youth Need to Know

You might have heard what happened to Constance McMillen in Itawamba County, a school district in Mississippi.  The school shut down their prom because she wanted to bring her girlfriend and dress in a Tuxedo.  Know your legal rights during prom season!  Check out Lambda Legal's online resource.  


NOTE TO IOWA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS:
Prom season is fast approaching.  If you experience anything like Constance, please notify Iowa Pride Network or the ACLU of Iowa immediately!

Thanks for much for this, Ryan! I just read the article about Constance and was sickened by it. I hope that students in Iowa don't experience something like that.
