Constance McMillen, the prom queen tossed around by her classmates, will serve as grand marshal of New York’s 41st Annual LGBT Pride March on June 27, along with Dan Choi and Judy Shepard. So that’s pretty spectacular.

The one thing bitter inbread rednecks HATE is when somebody from their town gets a little attention. Well Suck on this Mississippi.

OK. No snark, I admit that was a pretty cool choice. My city did good.

Hey assholes, don’t generalize or stereotype the whole state of Mississippi. There are many liberal, progressive people here fighting the good fight. Direct your anger at the people responsible for it, not everyone.

@allstarecho: Hey: if you want anyone to take you seriously, then you lost ALL CREDIBILITY by the second word of your comment.
Thanks for proving the perception that Mississippi breeds haters.
If you wanted to make an intelligent point, then you missed the mark. It’s sad that you cannot engage in intelligent dialogue.
Perhaps you could go to Itawamba and learn some manners, such as keeping learning disabled kids from attending the “real prom.”

@jeffree: Hey, I am a southern kid as well, from Texas to be exact, and it gets annoying when people say awful things about your state especially when they have never been there. I would give his use of profanity a pass.
People are darn proud of there states I know I am, but with very good reason, our state has tons of good people, over 46 percent voted for the current president, we have a gay mayor, and we were smart enough to realize that manufacturing still matters bypassing the majority of the recession and maintaining our status as one of the wealthiest states leading in clean energy, biomedical research, oil and gas, defense, agriculture, chemicals and a host of other sectors to boot. Even with a Governor like Rick who can be down right nasty our state retirement coffers are nearly full unlike other states that will lead to another coming crisis. I have traveled through the country and to nearly every southern state, and why Mississippi is nearly a failed state and has a lot of rotten apples there are some good people there that I would eat dinner with any day of the week.

@jeffree: Seriously? You want to whine about me calling someone “asshole” while others are calling us (me) inbread [sic] rednecks? OK then.
Anyway, I was merely pointing out that not all of us in Mississippi are homophobic, backwoods, INBRED rednecks. Many of us are here fighting the good fight. So with that said, stick your generalizations and stereotypes of Mississippi – and anything else for that matter – up your ASS.

Good for her.
