YES!
Whoah, this is pretty awesome!
Constance Mc Millen, the girl who sued her Mississippi school district over its ban of same-sex prom dates has accepted an offer to settle her suit!
American Civil Liberties Union attorneys representing Constance have filed notice in U.S. District Court to accept a judgment offer from the Itawamba County School District to pay $35,000, plus attorney’s fees.
Okay!?
As part of the agreement, the school district says it will follow a policy not to discriminate based on sexual orientation and gender identity in any educational or extracurricular activities.
The ACLU says the case is also precedent-setting because the district is the first of its kind in Mississippi to ever implement a policy banning discrimination and harassment on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Nice job, Constance…
Honey, you go ahead and throw your own fantastic $35K lesbian prom!
In the meantime, I’ll be in touch with the ACLU to see if it’s possible to sue my high school for forcibly implanting in my head that “Tevas” were acceptable footwear…
I’ll forgive, but I’ll never forget…
The End.
