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.

Project Prom Dress

Extra style points go to Elizabeth Ramouson (above left) who 'trusted her viscera' (as Tim Gunn would say) and made her prom dress out of gum wrappers. However, MY viscera and I are having a little giggle over the "boyfriend" (above right).

Parents of Gay Teen Kick Him Out

Earlier in the week, many bloggers wrote about Derrick Martin (above) - the gay Georgia high school student who got school permission to take a male date to prom.  It was a "feel-good" story, especially after the whole Constance McMillen prom-cancelling fiasco.

Unfortunately, as happens way to often in real life, Derricks parents kicked him out of their house after this came to light - according to Towleroad.  So much for the "feel-good story of the week" ...

How can Derrick's parents NOT be proud of him?!?  Not only does Derrick tutor at-risk elementary and middle school students after school - he has earned a full scholarship to college.  His parents should be ashamed of their small-mindedness.

Daddy Supports His Gay Daughter

By now you have probably heard the story of 18-year-old high school senior Constance McMillen (below).  Constance, who is gay, wants to attend her high school prom with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.  Instead of allowing that to happen, the Itawamba County (Mississippi) School District cancelled the prom altogether.

But I'm here to point out an extremely important and under-analyzed facet of this case ... OMG - just how HOT is Constance's father?!?  Michael McMillen (top), has publicly expressed support for his gay daughter and her efforts to attend prom like any other kid.  Don't MESS with Daddy's Little Girl.

In the dictionary, under "Daddy", there should be a picture of Michael McMillen.  For all the right reasons.
