The Prom Date and the Mom: 2nd Generation Queer!

Just got this information about the young person who wanted to go to the prom with her same sex partner in Mississippi, in which the school banned the prom!

By now, you would have to have been living on another planet not to know the story of Constance McMillen, whose Mississippi high school canceled its prom after she told officials she wanted to bring her girlfriend and wear a tux.

What most news channels have missed, however, is that Constance's mother is also a lesbian. Constance mentioned this in passing to Michaelangelo Signorile during an interview for his show on OutQ Sirius radio. (Thanks to the attentive women at Autostraddle for picking up on it.)

Powerful.
