so there has been a stir recently regarding senior proms. First Constance wants to bring her girlfriend and the school district cancels the prom instead of allowing her to. Then Derrick Martin asks to bring his male date and the school says yes - and supports him. Rejoice. Until you find out that his parents have kicked him out of their home because (if you read between the lines of their statement) he's gay. This poor kid. Constance might have had a tougher fight to get to prom, but she has a supportive family that is standing behind her. Derrick has lost that now...it just makes me want to cry. This poor kid is only standing up for his rights and has made a giant sacrifice because of it.
Read more about it here, still trying to figure out if there are legit ways to help him out at this point...
