What Do You Think of St. Anthony's Ban on Gay Prom Dates?

A daily question for the Sachem community to comment about. Speak up!

In hopes of driving more community participation on Sachem Patch, we're starting a new "question of the day" feature every morning. We ask one question, you comment as much as possible.

The Long Island Press published an in-depth article yesterday about prom policies, including a ban on same sex dates, at St. Anthony's High School.

A female student is upset she can't bring another girl to the prom. Officials at the Catholic school say allowing gay dates would be a slap in the face to church doctrine, according to the article.
