All Straight Prom

A group of students and parents in Indiana are trying to create an all-straight prom at their high school.  And, no surprise here, they are basing their arguments on Christianity.  Which is rather ironic, considering all the forgiving and inclusion that Christ taught.

Here's the best part.  One of the people interviewed is a special needs teacher within the town, who believes that all GLBT people choose the "lifestyle."  And, she says that when she talks with them, she tells them she doesn't believe in their choices.  Sounds like a safe space, for sure.

Here's the deal about prom.  Most people dance in groups to fast songs and with their partner for slow songs, of which there are much less than fast songs. 

But who cares?  Whether you believe that homosexuality is a choice (and who would choose it in high-school?  It's like saying, why yes, we'd like to be bullied and humiliated on a daily basis) or not, Christ was pretty clear about a few things.  That's to love one another and to not judge.  These people are ignoring both.
