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.”

The whole football team should show up in gowns with big clunky boots and poorly done make-up, just to point out the absurdity.
This anti-"cluster" bigotry must be eliminated.
Time for young people to get a full time post high school job and attend online colleges. I love when the Democrats abort themselves.
Well, now that’s mighty WHITE of them, isn’t it? Don’t know if that’s permissible but tough!
Where on earth does this claptrap come from? Upbringing, air, water, food, aliens (the kind from outer space)?
“”We now wholeheartedly welcome all same-sex couples,”””
