3 Awesome Ways the Internet Is Showing Support For Constance McMillen

The Facebook group “Let Constance Take Her Girlfriend to Prom!” stands at 247,000 fans, a number that keeps increasing every hour. But lest you think that’s the only way folks are showing support for the Mississippi high school senior whose school canceled prom rather than let her take her girlfriend, you’d be wrong. Here are three unconventional but fantastic way the Internet is swarming around Constance.

THE PEACE PIPE

PipeFriendCHS calls Constance an “American heroine,” and he’d be right. But he’s also a guy who finds an excuse to smoke a pipe for any reason, like building a new shower in his home. Which doesn’t mean we doubt his sincerity, not one bit!

THE FREAKY LARRY KING ANIMATION

You’ve seen the Asian reports that recreate newsworthy incidents using CGI, like the Tiger Woods attack, and Leno v. Conan. But here’s a fake Larry King on his CNN set delivering a monologue about living in a “free republic” and how letting a school discriminate against Constance will snowball into Amrageddon.

THE LESBIAN RAP

Um. Yeah.

BONUS: The Wanda Sykes stop-in

Okay, it’s not exactly web-related, by Wanda had Constance on her show, which was nice, but the interview was mostly terrible.
