Earlier in the week, many bloggers wrote about Derrick Martin (above) - the gay Georgia high school student who got school permission to take a male date to prom. It was a "feel-good" story, especially after the whole Constance McMillen prom-cancelling fiasco.
Unfortunately, as happens way to often in real life, Derricks parents kicked him out of their house after this came to light - according to Towleroad. So much for the "feel-good story of the week" ...
How can Derrick's parents NOT be proud of him?!? Not only does Derrick tutor at-risk elementary and middle school students after school - he has earned a full scholarship to college. His parents should be ashamed of their small-mindedness.
