How Are Michigan High Schoolers Dealing With Their New Gender-Neutral Prom? (Terribly)

I only believe that would happen because of pressure from the 'minority' group that desires it. I have no bias against transgender, homosexual or all alike, but I do not believe that we should be changing the precedence of the male-female court on account of someone 'not getting their way' or feeling 'discriminated' against.
