*Can we be real here? This is an issue many of us aged folk never thought we’d have to deal with. Truly, it never crossed our minds. But now, with “coming out” being a part of the norm, many families who support their LBGTQ children, will now be faced with how to handle it.

…by the school!

Paula Goodgame and her girlfriend, Anjali Persad, have been dating for four months. Goodgame is new to the school and was not aware of a school policy with specifics on who they can (and can not) bring to the prom. According to those guidelines, persons hoping to bring guests from another school must submit a “Prom Guest Request Form” with signatures and a picture ID.

Goodgame is a junior at  St. Petersburg Catholic High School, and her girlfriend goes to a private school nearby. So when Goodgame the request form asking permission to bring a guest from another school, it was denied.

But there’s MORE to the story.
