In Jackson, Mississippi, there is one young woman who is definitely making a difference in the world. After being turned down by her school district when she petitioned to go to prom with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo, Constance McMillen, 18, felt the need to speak out. Not only did she feel the need to speak out about her petition, she was especially pushed to speak pubically when she discovered that young gay and lesbian teens were committing suicide because of bullying. She was a bully victim at her school after the district canceled their prom because of her request. Because of this, the suicide victims hit her heart pretty hard.

I think Constance McMillen is a remarkable young woman. While I do not agree with her views on sexuality, I do agree with her stance on bullying and her right to bring her girlfriend to prom. Just because I don't believe that her views on sexuality is correct does not mean that I think that she should be punished and not be allowed to bring her girlfriend to prom. Also, she should have never been blamed for the cancellation of her prom. That was clearly the districts fault.
