The girl who was denied a prom in the first place, simply for being a lesbian, gets tortured one more time at the hands of supposedly grown adults.

I'd like to say something like "how can they sleep at night" or "they'll pay eventually" but sadly this is probably not the case. Having lived in MIssissippi for a couple of years in my teens, I can tell you that it's a gaping shithole of a state. The white majority treats the black minority like it's 1950. Segregation was alive and well in the mid 80s. And it's all in the name of deity-fearing behaviour - code words for chickenshit. Lowest level of education in the country. Lowest income in the country. I could go on. The list of things that Mississippi is last in, reads like the tax code. Long and complicated.
