Date for a Prom?

I am forever amazed at what people in positions of leadership and authority do to try to protect something and yet by their decisions make a mess of it. What is the big deal about one girl bringing another girl to the prom? So they want to claim it is a date? They now claim they are lesbians. So what?

When I was in high school I can not remember how many times the boys would go to the dance together and the girls would go together. Girls who did not have dates with boys would show up together. There was dating where boys and girls came paired but there were lots of girls who came either in groups or as friends. And the dancing, wow, more often than not it was girls dancing with other girls and the boys sitting on the side looking and talking. So the sight of two girls dancing together would not be something new.

So the people in authority decide to call off a whole prom because two girls want to come together? I must be missing something? I only read the story in the paper, but all I can see is that that decision has made another person in authority look stupid. Certainly "authority" has lost a lot of respect in that school. The publicity the story has caused is massive and negative for the most part. The publicity will certainly help to bring into discussion the whole human rights of homosexual people to their benefit the way water hoses on black helped to move the civil rights movement forward.

It seems to me that there is wisdom in the book of ACTS that is valid even if you do not accept the Christian faith. There is a line from a Jewish leader in a trial, that advises that if this be of God we cannot stop it, and if it is not ordained by God it will soon pass away. Some times authorities ought to follow that advice. If the giving of full human rights to homosexuals is a fundamental right, it will not be stopped. If it is a passing fad, then why give it help by trying to prevent it?
