Derrick Goes To Prom...


... and the world didn't end.  According to Joe.My.God, openly gay teen Derrick Martin (right) and boyfriend Richard Goodman attended Derrick's senior prom over the weekend.

I hope miserable homophobe Amber Duskin sat at home by herself while her more open-minded classmates enjoyed themselves at the prom.

YAY! Nice to see a school district protect all it's students instead of punishing and ostracizing them.

I'm a little sad that they had to get "special permission" to go to prom, but hopefully, that sort of nonsense is on it's way out.

Just a note: When I showed this to DQ, she said, "It's weird that the kids with a little dignity, like those guys, have to get permission to go to prom, when the kids who are routinely breaking rules and practically humping on the dance floor, do what they want just because they are boy/girl."

She has a good point.

That took lots and lots of guts. Thankfully there are more good kids out there than we are led to believe.

I'll be so glad when this is no longer an issue and when it's not a "big announcement" to have to "come out" but when everyone can BE who they are without any drama about it. That said, don't they look cute! I'm proud of them for helping pave the way.

I agree with DQ as well. That is irony for you, especially since there are more potentially dangerous kids at the prom not being screened.

Note (in case anyone was wondering) -

"DQ" is short for "Drama Queen", Jennie's daughter - who is in high school.

XOXOXOXO

I love them! (OK maybe I love the totes adorbs trumpet-playing boyfriend just a little bit more than Derrick, but I digress . . .)

Go them.

Full agreement re: Amber Von Tussle - I mean Duskin. Skank.
