LOS ANGELES – Noted lesbian activist and feminist Jinx Beers shares her incredible life story in “Memoirs of an Old Dyke,” a moving new autobiography published by iUniverse that serves as testament to the power of spirit, optimism and determination.

ABC Family is developing a TV movie about the lesbian teenager who made national news after her high school banned her from the prom, network reps say.

Constance McMillen, then an 18-year-old student from Mississippi, challenged the local school board for its rules that prevented her from bringing her girlfriend. The school ultimately canceled the April 2 prom after McMillen's request.

McMillen received a $30,000 check on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" after prom cancellation.
