As recently as Spring 2008, at least one Mississippi town still hosted racially segregated proms. Actor Morgan Freeman helped ensure his hometown's first integrated prom (by paying for it) and a documentary was made. Many students still refused to attend. So, I am hardly surprised that an entire event would be shut down because of a queer young woman's desire to attend her prom in my home state.
Here's the story on Charleston, Mississippi's first integrated prom.
