Lez Get Real: Ask Ellen!

There’s a great post on Lez Get Real that exposes a Twitter and Facebook movement aimed at getting Ellen DeGeneres to put together a prom for the students of Itawamba High School after theirs was canceled because a lesbian student wanted to bring her girlfriend as a date.

According to the post:

The LGBT community has been tweeting and facebook this story all over the internet to try to bring attention to McMillen’s plight. We know what this statement means, The Itawamba School District is trying to villify McMillen to all her classmates, students that might have been indifferent or even supportive of her sexual orientation before, will now blame her for the prom being cancelled. We also know that an “unofficial” prom will be organized and McMillen will not be invited. It is probable that McMillen is not the only LGBT student at the school, so the school district is effectively endorsing a “no gays allowed” prom.

Ellen Degeneres Fans see this as an opportunity to step up and do for the LGBT community what Oprah has done in the African American community.
