By Melanie Nathan, 3-11-10. Campbell Brown’s show on CNN featured a  brave young woman.  Coming out at 18 can be quite a call, one has parents to deal with who may not have such an easy time with the idea.    Having the courage to take your lesbian girlfriend to the Prom is yet another act of bravery, then when the PROM is canceled for all and one must face one’s school friends and peers – well that is yet another courageous event- however what could be more commendable than the 18 year old standing up for her rights on national TV?

Well that is what we saw this evening; the astounding resolve and confidence  of a young lesbian teen who willingly speaks for  her values and beliefs – she represents her most important value- simply “to be herself,”   as she told CNN. She is proud to be herself.  Such acceptance must start at home with Parents. This may be a lesson for all.  Truth iught never be feared.

This is a future leader and a poster person for equality.  Young and assured, our new-found hero, young Ms. Constance McMillen,  is presented by Lezgetreal as our current HERO and Lesbian of the Month.

Today Lezgetreal reached out personally by telephone and in a Blog / News Post to a variety of celebrities with the idea to host a PROM for all the Teens impacted by the cancellation by the Itawamba County Agricultural High School in Fulton, Mississippi.

We are waiting for answers from a few approached and are reaching out to our fans / readers for ideas, donations and support in general. Imagine a GAY and LESBIAN Prom in Mississippi- hey where are the Black Eyed Peas? Now THAT would be kewl. I have a Feeling about a GOOD- GOOD Time…
