Aww, The Lesbians Gets To Dance

April 1, 2008 @ 9:30 am

We’ve all heard the same ol’ story about a conservative school not allowing same sex couples to attend a prom. Well, there wasn’t any difference at Scottsboro High School in Scottsboro, Alabama but just hours before the prom Lauren Martin and girlfriend Chelsea Overstreet were lucky enough to dance the night way on Saturday.

“With the help of attorney Parker Edmiston, they went to court. On Saturday, just hours before the big dance, Circuit Judge John Graham of Stevenson issued an order prohibiting the school barring the teens.
Graham citied the 1984 federal Equal Access law which has been successfully used to fight on behalf of LGBT student groups.

“It was a big letdown” for the girls, being told they could not go to the dance, Martin’s mother, Connie Farrington, told reporters.”

FINALLY our court system actually did something right for once. Woot, woot!
