The good news of the week; Constance McMillen, the young woman whose request to wear a tuxedo and take her girlfriend to her senior prom was denied, has won a hearing about the violation of her First 
Amendment rights; the right to freedom of speech.
McMillen’s family has been amongst some of her strongest supports in this time of struggle, but others who have championed McMillen’s cause have been – of course – the ACLU, Ellen Degenres, many other high-profile celebs, hundreds or thousands of supporters who have joined together on a facebook fan page, and many who have written, blogged, and spoken out about the plight that Constance – and many others who have not had the where-with-all to raise their voices – have suffered.
McMillen has a become a true hero of our times in being willing to champion this case through. Her victory is a victory for all in the momentum of the movement towards equality.
Thank you, Constance McMillen, for being a strong voice speaking with certainty and reason.
