Kerry asks a girl to the prom? :D

Must be a statement,who knows?

By any chance did anyone not see the After Party? I didn't see it,they showed an hour special with Marlo Thomas having to do with cancer instead.

Must be a statement,who knows?That's what it was, I watched earlier.

Wasnt that the girl from American Dreams? :lol:

I liked this episode. I am glad that it didn't turn in to what I thought it was going to, a conservative/republican bashing.

While I am against gay marriage, I am far from against gay people. It was good to see the topic dealed with maturely, in all aspects.

Good episode overall. I was kinda surprised about Rory's girlfriend turning out to be gay. Talk about bad luck. :p

Yeah it was

Kerry asks a girl to the prom? :D
What kind of statement is she trying to make? If she's saying that it shouldn't always have to be a 'girl' asking a 'boy' to the prom, meaning a girl can go with another girl as 'friends' like 'hanging out',( like should'nt always have to follow tradition) that's one thing.

Well, I'm glad that I missed this episode, for I'm against that kind of living. I really don't think it is necessary for them to be this kind of subject(issue) to a sitcom.This is a sitcome to make people laugh, not to use as one's political agenda.
