An Australian High School that banned a student from bringing her girlfriend to her school dance insisted that it was due to the girls age and not the sexuality. Hannah Williams,16, was told that she couldn't bring her 15 year old girlfriend to the end of the year dance at Melbourne Ivanhoe because the ratio between boys/girls would be off. This was a a dance that was intended to have boys there because this was an all girls school and they where around girls all the time. The principal said this is an opportunity to enjoy "Boys". Her father Peter Williams filed an complaint but was unable to come to an resolution. So in the mean time he is trying to take this to a higher court saying this is unfair equal opportunity. Hannah has changed schools.
What is your take on this, do you think she should be able to take her girlfriend?
How would you feel if someone brought there girlfriend to MidAmerica Homecoming?

Austrailia is crazy. It surprises me that they banned it.
ReplyDeleteThe problem i see if when groups of friends just go, who is the judged of a gay couple or just two friends?

Agree with Micah.
ReplyDeleteI think the high school itself promotes homosexuality being just for girls. at that age you need to socialize with people from your opposite sex in regular situations like at school.
