An Alabama high school that previously banned same-sex couples from
attending prom has reversed its policy after an outcry from students.
Earlier this week, it came to light that Greenville High School had said it would allow only “traditional couples” –- meaning a male and a female –- to attend prom, according to local outlet WSFA-TV.
Interim Superintendent Amy Bryan abolished the anti-gay policy soon after she learned of its existence.
"An administrator issued a list of prom rules that included a discriminatory statement," she said, per WSFA. "No one lost their right to go anywhere. It's unfortunate it was in our rules, and all children will be welcome to the Junior-Senior Prom." Full story here!
