Wow that is so fucking stupid!! To say they're protesting because of the 'attention it has brought to the town' is the biggest pile of bullshit I've ever heard. Uh do you think MORE protesting is not going to attract MORE attention??? It should have never been an issue to begin with. Unfortunately I think we'll see more and more of this every spring over the next several years...but on the flip side, it will push less ignorant school systems to okay same sex couples at prom before the issue even comes up. Both those boys are so cute.
To answer your question, no, people don't have souls anymore. All in the name of God Almighty, too.
