Constance McMillen, an 18 year old student from Mississippi, challenged her high school's policy of only allowing heterosexual couples to attend prom and demanded they revise it to allow same sex couples as well.
Ann Coultier chose to take up this issue and wrote an expose on it. She sarcastically stated "[t]here are all the lesbians shutting down high school proms across the country because they can't take their girlfriends to the dance as the Founding Fathers intended."
She also said we "insult the Freedom Riders by comparing them to irritating lesbians." Coulter doesn't believe Gay rights are a civil rights issue, and she says "[t]he question is whether federal civil rights laws should prevent any discrimination other than race discrimination."
Do you agree with Coultier and think gay rights issues, such as same sex couples attending a prom together, is a civil rights issue?
