According to the Examiner, Constance McMillan was told she could not attend her own prom since she had planned to bring her girlfriend as a date. Constance threatened to sue for unlawful discrimination and the school board responded by cancelling the prom altogether. What happened next is the best kind of activism- the kind that combines fighting bigotry and promoting unity with partying. The American Humanist Association generously donated $20,000 to have an all-inclusive prom for the class. Keep the faith Mississippi and Texas: you're making atheists look better every day.
