An 80-year-old regional dance for high school girls and their dates in southwestern Connecticut will start allowing all-male same-sex couples next year and will remove the requirement that boys wear a tuxedo.
The annual County Assembly Charity Ball — known as “the Counties” — has traditionally been for high school junior girls and their escorts. That has traditionally meant that a girl has gone to the dance with a boy.
Organizers have been allowing girls to bring another girl, but had not been allowing boys to go with another boy. No one is allowed to go unaccompanied by an escort.
“We have valued same-sex female couples for years and value their participation in our events. We now wholeheartedly welcome all same-sex couples,” organizers said in an email message this week, according to the New Haven Register.
....
The ball is run by The Counties Assembly Inc., founded in 1938. The purpose, the organization told The New Haven Register, is “creating space for girls to feel comfortable and empowered to take a leading social role and independently ask an escort to accompany them to this event, in the hopes of furthering the equality of power in these relationships.”

Enough already with this crap. top reporting it...ignore it. Tolerate but don’t endorse. ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Bring back sanity.
That’s “Stop reporting on it”...
Why just couples? Haters!
Young idiots running the school.
Is it that hard to say NO to a kid?
IT’s no wonder they are messed up... adults aren’t any better and don’t know what discipline is.
Just because anyone can wear a dress doesn’t mean they should. There’s a lot more activities that shouldn’t be done but are being done today.
Silence is consent.
Why not threesomes or sixsomes? Why not bring their teacher as their date? Heck, why not Weinstein?
Why don’t they just call it The Charity Freak Show? This is how the weirdos recruit children for their future sexual enjoyment.
The Progressives have virtually seized control of all el/hi schools and almost all universities and their cancerous teachings have put this Republic on a doomsday spiral.
Sounds like fat-shaming to me! What if you can’t wear a dress due to morbid obesity?!?
Might as well let these sweel lil debutantes see the swishes ( and bull dykes) exposed rather than find out after marriage
Ah innocent youth
I think the boys should be required to keep wearing their tuxedos (under their dresses, of course....)
I imagine the County Assembly Charity Ball will come to an end after a few more years. Good riddance to them (and to the Boy Scouts, who also betrayed decency).
See, it’s $hit like this is why we can’t have anything nice anymore.
Anyone can be a woman = the end of feminism?
I wish they’d bring back shunning!
If this school and its inmates want to plunge further into sickness and debauchery, I don’t care to know about it. There’s nothing I can do about it but sigh.
No one is allowed to go unaccompanied by an escort.
May I introduce you to Harvey? Harvey, this is the dance organizer. Harvey, is my escort.
CANCEL the event until sanity returns.
