Out at the Prom
More gay teens than ever are taking same-sex dates to prom. And instead of sparking controversy, schools are saying, whatÂ’s the big deal?

NEWSWEEK WEB EXCLUSIVE
June 9 — Allen Wolff readied himself for prom like millions of other teenage boys. On the afternoon of May 25, the 17-year-old from Syracuse, New York, showered and shaved, leaving intact a thin goatee, donned a rental tux and silver vest, then coated his normally spiky locks with a generous portion of hair gel.
AFTER ESCORTING HIS date into the balloon-enhanced splendor of the Baker High School prom, he enjoyed a night that he later described as “absolutely amazing.” “We danced, ate chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate chip cannolis, and drank lots and lots of soda,” he reported. Yet unlike the other boys at the dance, the date on his arm was not a winsome girl in a graceful dress, but Misko Lencek-Inagaki, a boy in a black tux and silver bowtie.
Allen and Misko are joining peers from Wisconsin to West Virginia in revolutionizing the traditional high school prom. More gay teens than ever are turning out for this year’s big night in gowns and tuxes—or gowns and gowns, or tuxes and tuxes. But instead of sparking controversy, schools across the country are welcoming them. “It’s exploding,” says Alice Leeds, a spokesperson for Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, a nationwide advocacy group known as PFLAG. Brenda Melton, president of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), says that it has become almost commonplace in urban and suburban areas for a student to bring a date of the same sex to the prom—and that in most schools, it’s really no big deal.
Today’s school administrators say they want an event that’s welcoming for everyone. In fact, officials are vastly more concerned about “bellybuttons and low-cut outfits” than whether a student is holding hands with a member of the same sex.
Gays are alright. It leaves more ladies for the rest of us....

There`s alot of stuff I could say here but you probably already know what it is.

I went to the high school prom in '80. If you did that at the prom you would be getting an ass kicking for sure.
Hey, I'm not saying getting your ass kicked because you're a fag is right. Just saying that if you did that shit at the prom @ Anderson High School in Anderson Indiana back then that's what would have happend.

First time I'm on the boards in the AM while I'm working on the computer and this is the first topic I click on?? I think I need to get take a shower. Later!!!!

Times change, people change, and whats socially acceptable changes.
Think about things 20 years ago. If I had both my ears pierced and showed up at school like that I'd have probably gotten my ass kicked for it. Todays society accepts men having both ears pierced and other things pierced and 20 years ago you'd be a social outcast for that sort of thing.
Gay people are in a lot of ways a lot worse then having your ears pierced but still they are a part fo society and we have to accept them. I don't condone what they do or agree with what they do but I don't think they should be treated any differently then anyone else and I think they have just as much right to go to prom as a straight couple does.
Knowing that a lot of you have children what are you going to do when you find out your son or daughter is gay??? Don't say it's not going to happen because I can assure you that there will be at least 3 or 4 of you who post to these boards that will have a gay son or daughter.
You won't like the fact that your kid is gay but you will accept the fact and you will support your childs decision and hope and pray that they are not shut out by the world because they are different. That's what parents do. Good ones anyhow.
I know a lot of you like to use the word Fag but how would it make you feel if someone reffered to your child as "fag" I know personally that I would be beating some serious ass. So think about that and maybe your perspective will change.
And just to clarify I am in no way gay. I love pussy and always will.

I admit that I have some phobias about gays being openly demonstrous about their leanings. But then, I don't feel that hetro couples should suck face or grope in public either. One of my employees took his kids to Disney World once and found out it was gay convention week. Ruined the entire trip for him to have his kids get that shoved in their faces. The men were not discreet in their groping. I felt that Disney was wrong in allowing an adult event at a children's place. And then to not notify other visitors that it was going on. What is next, going to the zoo with your kids and finding them shooting a porn movie or to Chuckie Cheese's that has a Hedonists Society swap meet?
