1 | USA: Lesbian Student Sent to “Fake Prom” in Mississippi | Etazonia: Mpianatra vavy mitia vehivavy iray nalefa tamina “alim-pandihizana fitaka” tany Mississipi |
2 | A LOL cat shared by Feministing blog | LOL cat zarain'ny blaogy miaro ny zon'ireo vehivavy |
3 | Constance McMillen is an 18-year old Mississippi girl who, like many American teenagers, was looking forward to attending her high school prom this year. | Tovovavy 18 taona avy ao Mississippi i Constance McMillen izay, tahaka ireo tanora amerikanina maro, naniry ny mba hanatrika ny alim-pandihizan'ny andiany misy azy tao ampianarany tamin'ity taona ity. |
4 | McMillen, a lesbian, planned to attend the prom with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo. | McMillen, ilay lesbian [vehivavy mitia vehivavy], dia nanao fotoana ny hanatrika ny alim-pandihizana miaraka amin'ny vehivavy sakaizany ary hanao fitafy tuxedo. |
5 | Her school, however, decided that both were forbidden. | Ny sekoly fianarany anefa, teo anatrehan'izany, dia nanapan-kevitra ny tsy hampiditra azy roa. |
6 | McMillen contacted the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who sent her school district a demand letter. | Niantso ny Fikambanana Miaro ny fahalalahan'ny Sivily Amerikana - American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) i McMillen, izay nandefa taratasy fangatahana tany amin'ny sekoly fianarany . |
7 | The school responded by canceling the planned April 2 prom rather than bowing to the ACLU's demands, releasing a statement on March 10 that said: “Due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events, the Itawamba County School District has decided to not host a prom at Itawamba Agricultural High School this year.” | Naleon'ny sekoly nanafoana ilay alim-pandihizana saika hatao ny 2 Aprily, toy izay hanaiky ny fangatahan'ny ACLU, namoahana ilay fanambaràna nataony ny 10 martsa manao hoe : “Vokatry ny fikorontanana misy amin'ny zava-mitranga ankehitriny momba ny fandaharam-potoana ato ampianarana, ny Akademian'ny Itawamba County dia nanapa-kevitra ny hanafoana ilay alim-pandihizana saika hatao ato amin'ny Anjerimanontolo momba ny fambolena eto Itawamba amin'ity taona ity. |
8 | Lesbian blogger Navy Wife wrote about her own experiences with prom, relating them to her current experience of being the “closeted” wife of a Navy officer: | Nanoratra momba izay efa niainany izany alim-pandihizana izany i Navy Wife, vzehivavy iray manambady vehivavy, ary nampifandraisiny amin'ny fahalalàny amin'ny maha vady miafin'ny vehivavy iray mpanamory sambo Amerikana azy: |
9 | While I would typically rant about her school board, I only feel Hope. | Raha ny mahazatra, tokony ho hatezerana no asetriko ny mpandraharaha ao amin'ny sekoliny, dia toa fanantenana ihany kosa no tsapako. |
10 | Constance provides Hope in this crazy country that is denying us the right to marry, serve openly in our military, share benefits with our spouse, adopt children. | Mitondra fanantenana ho an'ity firenena adaladala ity, izay misakana anay tsy hivady ara-dalàna, ho afaka hanompo malalaka anatin'ny tafika, mba ho afaka hifampizara ny tombontsoa amin'ny vadinay, mba ho afaka hanangana zanaka i Constance. |
11 | Constance, at such a young age, chose to be who she is, without fear of judgment. | Constance, mbola tena ao anaty fahatanorana tokoa, dia nisafidy ny maha-izy azy tsy misy tahotra ny lalàna. |
12 | She gives me Hope that in the near future we will live in a world where everyone can go to prom with who they like, dressed how they like. | Nanome fanantenana ho ahy izy fa amin'ny hoavy izay tsy ho ela akory, afaka hiaina amina tontolo izay ahafahan'ny olon-drehetra mitondra izay olona tiany mandritra ny alim-pandihizana sy hitafy izay tianay hitafiana izahay. |
13 | I wish I could boldly stand up like her. | Mino aho fa ho afaka hijoro toa azy koa. |
14 | For now, I will smile on the elliptical knowing that this young woman is out there, changing the world for us all. | Ankehitriny aloha, hitsiky aho amin'ny fisian'ity tovovavy tanora ity, izay hanova ny tontolo ho antsika rehetra. |
15 | And I'll turn up my iPod and rock out, surrounded by all of the military personnel who assume I'm just another Navy Wife. | Ary hatatatatako mafy ny iPod-ko sy ny mozika rock, hodidinin'ireo miaramila izay mahita fa tsy hafa akory fa vadina Navy hafa indray ity. |
16 | With the help of the ACLU, McMillen took the issue to court. | Miaraka amin'ny fanampian'ny ACLU, nitondra ny raharaha teny amin'ny fitsarana i McMillen. |
17 | On March 23, a Mississippi judge determined that the school had violated McMillen's rights, but would not force the school to reinstate its prom. | Ny 23 Martsa, ny mpitsara iray tao Mississipi dia namaritra fa nohitsahan'ny sekoly ny zon'i McMillen, saingy tsy ho afaka hanery ny sekoly hamerina indray ilay alim-pandihizana izy. |
18 | When the school-sponsored prom was canceled, a group of parents and private citizens offered to hold an alternative early April prom. | Rehefa nofoanana ny alim-pandihizanan'ny sekoly, dia nanome hevitra ny hanaovana alim-pandihizana iray hafa hanoloana izany ny vondron'olona iray sy ireo raiamandreny amin'ny Aprily. |
19 | McMillen, however, was given a false address and arrived at a fake prom attended by only a few students. | McMillen kosa anefa, nomena adiresy diso ka lasa tany amina alim-pandihizana diso izay mpianatra vitsy monja no nanatrika tao. |
20 | The rest of the school partied at the real prom. | Ny ambin'ny fianarana kosa dia nanatrika ilay tena alim-pandihizana. |
21 | Plenty of bloggers agreed with the exclusion of McMillen, while many others showed an outpouring of support for her rights. | Mpitoraka blaogy marobe no nanaiky ny fanilihana an'i McMillen, raha naneho ny fankatoavan'izy ireo ny zony kosa ny maro hafa. |
22 | Joe. My. | Nanambara i Joe. My. |
23 | God., winner of an LGBT blog award, was among the first bloggers to share the news of the fake prom, stating: | God., mpitoraka blaogy nahazo ny loka LGBT, izay anisan'ireo mpitoraka blaogy voalohany nizara ny vaovao mikasika ity alim-pandihizana diso ity, ary milaza: |
24 | Constance McMillen has confirmed that a large fancy secret prom took place across town while she and special needs students attended what they were told was the “official” prom. | Nanamafy i Constance McMillen fa nisy alim-pandihizana nihaja niafina tany amin'ny toeran-kafa tao an-tanana, raha nanatrika ny alim-pandihizana noheverin'izy sy ireo mpianatra manokana ho alim-pandihizana ofisialy izy ireo. |
25 | Marriage Tales, a blogger who says that she rarely discusses politics, shares an open letter to the parents and administrators who tricked McMillen: | Nizara taratasy misokatra ho an'ny raiamandreny sy ireo mpandraharaha izay namitaka an'i McMillen, i Marriage Tales, mpitoraka blaogy nilaza fa tsy dia miady hevitra loatra mikasika ny politika: |
26 | I hope that one day you realize that instead of being the norm and taking the evil and hateful action you did, you had the chance to stand up for someone and make a difference and be the change. | Mino aho fa indray andro any ho tonga saina ianao fa ny fiheveranao ho manaraka ny norma, ny firesahanao ny ratsy sy ny fankahalana ny zava-misy nataonao, dia fitsangananao hanohana olona iray sy hitondra fiovana ary meteza ho ny fiovàna. |
27 | Instead you will grow up and maybe one day tell your kids that yes you went to prom like everyone else does in high school and you may or may not remember what you wore or what you did or who you went with and it won't be anything special. | Ho solon'izay, hihalehibe ianao ary mety indray andro hiteny amin'ny zanakao hoe eny, namonjy alim-pandihizana toy ny fanaon'ny sekoly ambony rehetra ianao ary mety hahatsiaro na tsia izay akanjo nentinao na izay nataonao na niaraka tamin'iza ianao ary dia toa tsy zava-miavaka izany. |
28 | But you could have grown up and told your kids that you stood up for someone, someone who had the courage to be herself, even though it was different, and stand up for her rights. | Kanefa mety ho nihalehibe ianao ary nilaza tamin'ireo zanakao fa niady ho an'olona iray ianareo, olona iray nanana fahasahiana nijoro tamin'ny maha-izy azy, na dia olona hafa noho ny rehetra aza izy, ary niady ho fiarovana ny zony. |
29 | You could have been that person, taught your future kids that lesson, instead of being the person to lie, blend in with the crowd and refuse to stand up for someone else. | Mety ho ianao io olona io, ampianaro ny zanakao io lesom-piainana io, mba tsy ho olona mpandainga, mifanjevo amin'ny vahoaka ary manohitra ny hiady ho an'olona iray. |
30 | Congratulations. | Arahabaina ianao. |
31 | Pam's House Blend, another award-winning blog in the LGBT blogosphere, calls McMillen a hero, but wonders if she'd be better off leaving her small town and invites readers to chime in. | Milaza an'i McMillen ho mahery fo i Pam's House Blend, mpitoraka blaogy iray hafa anisan'ny nahazo fankasitrahana tamin'ny tontolon'ny blaogy LGBT, saingy nanontany tena raha tsy tsra ho azy ny mandao ny tanàna keliny, sady manasa ireo mpamaky azy izy haneho ny heviny. |
32 | In another, related post, the blogger shares photos that attendees of the straights-only prom posted on Facebook and Flickr. | Lafiny iray hafa mifandraika amin'io raharaha io ihany, nizara ny sarin'ireo mpandray anjara tamin'ny alim-pandihizana natao ho an'ireo ‘herevina ho norma' tao amin'ny Facebook sy Flickr ilay mpitoraka blaogy. |
33 | On March 24, Feministing blog linked to a CNN story reporting that lesbian talk show host Ellen DeGeneres helped arrange a scholarship for McMillen from digital media company Tonic.com. | Ny 24 Martsa, ny blaogy Feministing ( miaro ny zon'ireo vehivavy ) dia nametraka rohy mankamin'ny lahatsoratry ny CNN mitatitra fa manampy an'i McMillen amin'ny fahazoany vatsim-pianarana avy amin'ny kaompania misahana ny fampahalalam-baovao, Tonic.com, ilay vehivavy mitia vehivavy (lesbienne) mpiteny amin'ny fahitalavitra, Ellen DeGeneres. |
34 | The author of Silence is Betrayal: A Feminist Blog wonders how so many people could have plotted against McMillen: | Ny mpanoratra ny Feministing (Ny fahanginana dia famadihana ) dia nanontany tena hoe nahoana ireo olona marobe ireo no nanao tetika hanoherana an'i McMillen: |
35 | Was there no one to speak out against this? | Tsy misy olona afaka nisakana izany ve ? |
36 | No one in the student body willing to tell McMillen and the other five students where the real prom was? | Tsy misy olona avy amin'ireo mpianatra ve afaka nilaza tamin'i McMillen sy ireo mpianatra dimy hafa ve hoe aiza no misy ilay alim-pandihizana tena izy ? |
37 | And no one from the community planning the event thought to question how cruel this was? | Ary tsy nisy olona avy tamin'ireo komitin'ny fikarakarana ve nametra-panontaniana fa mampijaly izany ? |
38 | This town seems to be exemplifying the worst stereotypes of Mississippi: backwards, bigoted, and hate-filled. | Toy ny ohatra iray mikasika ny fandraisana fanapahan-kevitra adaladalan'i Mississippi io tanàna io : fiverenan-dalana, fanosoram-potaka ary fankahalana. |
39 | I hope McMillen takes her scholarship money and goes to a school with a diverse, welcoming community. | Mino aho fa handray ny vatsim-pianarany i McMillen ary handeha hamonjy ny sekoly misy ny sokajy rehetra sy tsara fandray. |
40 | She deserves so much better. | Mendrika loatra izany izy. |
41 | Take Action: The Human Rights Campaign has put together a petition to condemn the school district. | Raiso ny fepetra: ny Human Rights Campaign [fanentanana ho fiarovana ny zon'olombelona] dia nametraka fanangonan-tsonia ho fanasaziana ny sekoly. |
42 | Sign here. | Soniavo eto. |
43 | A Facebook parody group called “Constance quit yer cryin” has been created to support and share news of McMillen's plight. | Ny fikambanana ao amin'ny Facebook antsoina hoe “Constance quit yer cryin” dia natsangana ho fanohanana sy hifampizaram-baovao mikasika ny zava-mitranga amin'i McMillen. |
44 | One member of the group shared news of a more hopeful sort: Constance McMillen has been chosen as the grand marshal of the NYC Pride Parade on June 27, 2010. | Mpikambana iray ao amin'ny vondrona no nizara vaovao nitondra fanantenana : Voafidy ho isan'ny mpitarika ny fampirantiana ny NYC Pride Parade ny 27 Jona 2010 i Constance. |
45 | According to the same article, she has also been invited to attend a lesbian-only prom in San Francisco later this year. | Voalazan'io lahatsoratra io ihany, voaasa koa izy hanatrika alim-pandihizana natokana ho an'ny vehivavy mitia vehivavy any San Francisco atsy aoriana kely amin'ity taona ity. |
