Trust the Ferret, the Ferret is Wise

Well, Fulton, Mississippi is apparently full of asshats. That's the town that canceled the prom because one of the students wanted to take her girlfriend. Well, the school then said they would have it, at a country club. Seven students showed up at this fake prom", while all the other students went to an unofficial prom somewhere else, and then posted pictures etc on Facebook. (More)

Yes, they wanted badly enough to exclude her that they rented two venues, and did all the legwork to set up a second fake prom. Not only is it asshattery, it's asshattery that took a lot of extra work and money, just to make a few people feel bad. Seriously, people? As if that's not depressing enough, reading the comment pages of some of those articles is pretty bad too. I really don't get it. But then, back in HS, I'd probably have been invited to fake parties, if I'd gone to parties.

She will, however, get to be Grand Marshall of a gay pride parade in NYC, and was invited to a national "lesbian prom" in San Francisco. And Green Day is going to be helping host a prom geared for gay couples in Tupelo, Mississippi on May 8. Which is probably one of the best steps to take.

So yes, Fulton, Mississippi? You've successfully shown the entire nation you're a town full of bigots and idiots. Congratulations. You managed to take a minor incident and turn it into the first time most of the country has heard of your town, and it's for this kind of stunt.

Because I'm sure there's somebody it'll offend. But it's too funny, and the anime is really well synched with the words to the song.

So I give you: I wish I was a lesbian, the anime music video.

I'm not sorry
