What can we learn from the cancellation of the prom at Constance McMillen’s Mississippi high school?
Constance rules!
This is why Congress has to pass the Student Non-Discrimination Act
Hope isn’t lost -- look how many folks stepped up to hold a non-discriminatory prom!

Yes, that Cindy McCain; the wife of former Presidential hopeful Republican Senator John McCain. The NOH8 campaign is “photo project and silent protest…in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8 [in California].”

In a statement on their website, NOH8 made the following statement:

 In the year since we've started the NOH8 Campaign, we've often been surprised at  some of the different individuals who have approached us showing their support.  Few, though, have surprised us more than Cindy McCain - the wife of Senator  John McCain and mother to vocal marriage equality advocate Meghan McCain.  The McCains are one of the most well-known Republican families in recent  history, and for Mrs. McCain to have reached out to us to offer her support truly  means a lot. Although we had worked with Meghan McCain before and were  aware of her own position, we'd never really thought the cause might be  something her mother would get behind. We have a huge amount of respect for  both of these women for being brave enough to make it known they support equal  marriage rights for all Americans.

I think this is fantastic! I’m so glad that Cindy McCain decided to do this, especially since her high-profile husband is opposed to marriage equality.

Thanks, Cindy!
