LONDON, Ont. - It was, for the most part, your typical prom. It ended, for the most part, the way proms typically do -- an organizer made announcements, the photographer packed up, and at least one tear-streaked teen made a dramatic scene outside.

And back on the dance floor, girls were making out. And nobody cared. Nobody called them names, nobody pointed, nobody laughed.

Instead, couples around the lip-locked lovers -- boys with boys, girls with girls, and groups of teens in everything from traditional prom wear to plaid shirts and torn leggings -- just danced.
