Yeah first off no flaming, i dont care if you agree with it or not im just wondering about this. Anyway i have a bisexual friend who is planning on taking a same-sex out of school date to homecoming. The school, however, does not allow same-sex dates. Is that a form of discrimination and could he potentionally sue the school. I do not think it is right to prevent people from going to a dance if they take a same-sex date. Anyway im pretty sure his rights protect him from them preventing him to go. No one has ever challeneged the school's rule. Anyway if he was to challenge it citing discrimination-(school's get scared when you say that word lol) would he win?

What kind of shcool do you go to? If you go to a public school it's discrimination, if it's a private school they can do whatever they want.
This having been said, your friend is a dip**** if he considers going to court over something so stupid. These are the kinds of people I want to kick in the face for wasting my tax money over something so pointless and trivial. Clearly hes in this more for the controversy than he is to actually bring a guy to the dance. If someone told me there was a girl I couldn't bring to a dance, I wouldn't bring her, I wouldn't go to court over it. He should do the same thing, just shut up and take his medicine.Blue jays/Spartans/Colts

I bet if he takes them to court they'll end up fxcking with him when it comes to his grades or something.

Guy in Ottawa did the same. Catholic school forbode him from bringing his boyfriend to school. they sued the school, won, got a public apology from the school, they changed their stance on the subject and probably gave out a small settlement.Originally Posted by Teenytinyboo
Odds are, your friend could protest and sue. Question is, how much does he ACTUALLY care and how much does he have to spend?
Maybe he should just suck it up, and realize that that treatment is probably just a small portion of what he'll taste in the rest of his life, unfortunately.

It is hard to say. Schools can set the policies on their own events. It wasn't too many years ago that interracial dating wasn't allowed either. My feeling is let your friend go for it. He has every right to enjoy homecoming as anyone else.Originally Posted by MillerTime07

09-05-2006, 03:50 PM #20i think he should find other cases where people won, print them out, take his date, and when they say something at the door or whatever, he pulls out the papers. he threatens to pull the same thing on them and he asks if it's really worth their trouble.Originally Posted by MillerTime07

I agree with the school, homos shouldn't be allowed to bring each other to grads/dances or anything else.

and that matters why?Originally Posted by AKR
last i checked, it was owned by the government, right? making it private property.
If you can't go there and hang at 2am, it's not public.
schools aren't public places. they are 'owned by the public', as are all government offices - incl. the pentagon. i

i know i dont "approve" of gays ...but bi-sexual men are just stupid.
it's allright in girls but me who are bi-sexual dont deserve to be treated as regular citizens...either be gay or staright
