The Southern Poverty Law Center says an Alabama school district will allow same-sex couples to attend prom. The civil rights center announced that the Tuscaloosa County School System will let gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students attend prom with same-sex dates. The issue arose when Brookwood High School sophomore Elizabeth Garrett was told by an administrator to remove a sweatshirt with the words "Warning, this individual infected with `the gay,' proceed with caution." The administrator had also indicated that same-sex couples could not attend prom together. The SPLC says the ban from attending prom with a same-sex date and the removal of the sweatshirt violated Garrett's constitutional rights of free speech and equal protection. Officials with the school district could not immediately be reached for comment.
