Openly Gay Georgia Teen, Boyfriend Attend Prom without a Hitch
An openly gay, Georgia teen and his boyfriend attended prom together on Saturday in what was reported to be an enjoyable evening for the couple.
Derrick Martin, 18, attracted national media attention after officials at his rural Cochran, Georgia high school gave him permission to bring his boyfriend to the April 17 dance.
Prom season has stirred controversy across the country this year as more and more LGBT students are standing up for their right to bring a same-sex date.
GLAAD will continue to follow the media’s coverage of LGBT students. Updates can be found on GLAADblog.org
