news comments:
Ms Macmillen - who has been a lesbian since her early teens - is challenging her school's ban on same-sex prom dates.

opinions:group:
we think that these is not fair for the teenagers that they canceled the prom because of the other people.
personal:
Cami: I think that these article isn't fair because there are some teenagers that are gay and these school isn't respecting others decisions because they canceled prom just because of that.

Gaby:I think that in schools the principals should respect our opinions and decisions in how we want to be in the rest of our lifes. but i also think that gay and lesbians shouldn't happen but the world is how god made it and we are made and are like god made us with our own decisions on how we want to see life. it shouldn't be fair to cancel the prom because of people who make bad choices for their lifes.

Ana:I think every girl or boy can go with they want to, because we are the same from the outside but nobody, nobody are the same by the inside. This principal should be fire .

George:i think that they should let people come with their dates that they whant because people are what they are.

how it affect us:
these affect us because now we can see that schools don't accept our decisions in how we want to be when we grow up and there we see that they don't care how we think.
