Excuse me... This is rather offensive towards teenagers in the LGBT movement. For alot of people the prom is the only night that they get to feel beautiful or special.
And to have that removed from them because of their sexuality is a very key concern. How dare you say that it is just 4 hours when you are 17.
I was bullied majorly because i was gay by students in my year when i had my Year 11 prom.
i was scared to walk in the door.
But on that evening, everyone was treated equal regardless of sexuality and gender and everyone looked like angels. For some people it is the best night of their lives.
So i resent your comment about it only being a very short space in time.
Also please don't refer to location, i am in quite a rough town in the UK, where gays still get chased for being gay. *rolls eyes* Meh who really cares about this
Yes of course you should be concerned with the rest of our lives, but i know in england, that it is one of the very few things that are banned (homosexual couples going to their proms), it is "legal" to be gay at 16 here and i know we do need to look to the future but alot of people do not look to the future at that age. They are more concerned with who they are going hump next at college
