“I assume you know what the ACLU is, American Civil Liberties Union, and as of now we’re fighting battles in seventeen different states. One of the more well-known you probably heard about was that girl in Mississippi, Constance McMillan, teenage senior, wanted to take her girlfriend to the prom, school said ‘no,’ court case ensues and we back up. The school board learns that they legally cannot do that, they cancel the prom outright. Sadly enough what’s not being talked about at all is that in Pennsylvania, not in Philly but in 80% of the state, it’s actually legal to fire someone for being gay so we’re trying to pursue House Bill 300 to change that.“ Matt Burkitt, ACLU fundraiser.
