    Dear Cynthia,

    Tell your stupid assistant superintendent that he's 15 years behind the times. I took my girlfriend to prom in 1994. The seas did not boil, the earth did not quake, and society did not instantly crumble. A couple of guys came out of the closet a year later, but I'm pretty sure that would have happened anyway.

    Don't back down. Prom is silly, overrated, and damn important in this society.

    Love,

    la.donna.pietra #condoms

    That condom story already had me cringing, but when I got to the part that they were packaged by shirtless men without being sterilized, just....ewww!

    I'm guessing the men where shirtless due to it being hot (likely terrible conditions to work in), so I'm picturing them dripping sweat onto the condoms as they are being packaged. Yuck... #condoms

    I don't understand how all these prom debacles happen. At my high school, nobody knew who was taking whom to prom until we got there. None of the teachers or administrators asked, we didn't need to tell anyone. And occasionally people went alone, or groups of friends went. I took a girl to my prom (I think she was straight, we didn't ever date or anything even though she was super hot and cool) and my BFF was our other date. Nobody really knew until we got there. Nobody cared, but even if they had we would already have been there, it would have been too late to ban us. #condoms

    @Cimorene: Where I went, if you were taking someone from outside the school, you had to get approval-- but i think that was basically to make sure no one older than 21 came. #condoms

    @Cimorene: Same at my school. I decided to go to my senior prom last minute because my friend broke up with her boyfriend and needed a date. We didn't alert school officials or anything. What does this principal think is going to happen if they let that girl bring her girlfriend? That everyone is going to start having gay sex on the dance floor? #condoms

    @Cimorene: Exactly. I went one year with a girlfriend so we could save on tickets (two tickets together were cheaper than buying two separately) and it didn't matter and no one cared.

    @Cimorene: There was a well known no-same-sex dates at my school (1990s) so one gay couple needed to pair up with an an opposite gay couple, switch partners to buy tix and get in the door,and then switch partners later. Dancing? Well, the girls could dance together but the guys had to keep their distance if they wanted to make it home in one piece.

    They were young, but they weren't stupid. They knew what would get them harassed by administrators and students if they pulled it at a school sponsored event. Most gay kids have already been harassed by faculty in school. Of course you ask first, before you buy the dress and shoes and rent the limo. #condoms

    @Cimorene: I consider myself lucky. Somehow my high school girlfriend was able to bring me, and I had already left the school and was no longer a student. And it was an all girls Catholic School, in Kentucky, no less. None of the faculty or deans said a thing. And it was obvious I wasn't there as her friend and a former student. #condoms

    @Cimorene: We had to give our names and our date's names when we purchased tickets at my prom. The prom committee then wrote all of our names ("Terry and Carrie!") on a giant piece of butcher paper in sparkly glitter ink and hung it up in the hall, so that everyone knew who was going with whom, just in case you weren't paying attention to the gossip.

    Which made the top of the list ("la.donna.pietra and Lisa!") particularly interesting, in 1994. #condoms

    @BytheSea: My school knew damn well that I would call in GLAAD, PFLAG, Amnesty International, Melissa Etheridge, and anyone else I could think of. They didn't even bother giving me shit.

    I did get my tires slashed, though. I'm pretty sure that was by a fellow prom-goer. #condoms

    Mr. Rogers was my first crush. I'd kiss the TV ... that's when I discovered how the TV picture is made up of zillions of tiny dots of color (when the screen is wet you can see them).

    My first kitten was named Henry, for Henrietta. (I totally could never do that "stripper name" thing.) #mrrogers

    I got a 100%, but you know, I'm from Pittsburgh, and have met Mr. Rogers and Mr. McFeely. Also, one time I was at the childrens' museum when they had a full sized land of make-believe. So really, anything less would have been a disappointment.

    90%! Mr. Rogers was the dad who cared about my feelings.

    Looking back, all his puppets' names and their voices sound like they were made up by Emmit Hunnicutt.

    $17.50 is a total bargain! I've had my copies for several years, so I paid almost twice that.

    I wish I had named my budgies Casey and Finnegan... but realistically, they are both too chirpy for either of them to be Finnegans. :) #mrrogers
