How Come Straight Girls Get to Go To Prom With Other Ladies, But Not Lesbians Like Constance McMillen? / Queerty

But aren't critics of McMillen — namely, her high school administrators — forgetting that girls go to prom with other girls all the time?

Whether it's because they are dateless or just want to send the message that "we don't need boys," straight girls have been arriving to hotel reception halls in limos, sans men, for decades. There has never been any serious criticism of this choice, at least no more than creepy father-daughter dance events. Not only do these girls sometimes arrive together, often, they dance together too!
