I'm really upset by this story!

This is a public school?

------------------------------
Here's a famous case in Ontario, Canada that made headlines (2002)--in a Catholic school, no less...and justice won.

Excerpt:

Decision: On May 10, Justice Robert McKinnon granted an interlocutory injunction ordering that Hall be allowed to attend the prom with Dumond. The justice also ordered that the school not cancel the prom. He did not decide on the larger issues raised by the case, leaving those to be heard at a later trial. Hall attended the Prom with Dumond that evening. In 2005, Marc Hall dropped the case.

The Hall case in film

Director Larry Peloso created a one-hour documentary on the case entitled Prom Fight: The Marc Hall Story. An unrelated television movie, Prom Queen: The Marc Hall Story, aired on CTV in 2004 with Aaron Ashmore starring as Hall.
Hall also appeared in the Queer as Folk season 2 finale as a party guest during the Rage party at Babylon.
