Lesbian Fights for Her Right to Wear Pants to Prom Or there's a better article hereA 17-year-old senior in Boone County, Indiana, is suing her school over their dress code for prom, which requires girls to wear dresses. She wants to wear a tux and claims that wearing dresses reflects a 'sexual identity' she does not embrace

My favorite part was that last bit in the second article...

Yeah, cause those tiny little two-piece prom dresses that are all the rage now aren't a "sexual statement."

It's happened before.

All of this has happened before and will happen again.

There are schools that require girls to wear dresses? I've seen some pro dresses marketed and if I were a chaperone, I'd prefer the pants!

Hmm. I'm trying to think if my school had a dress code for Prom. I don't think they did. Weird. Maybe they've had some outrageous stuff in the past that required them to adopt a dress code, but I certainly don't blame her for bucking this. It's ridiculous. If there's gotta be a dress code, why can't it just say everyone has to wear "formal" wear and be decently clothed?

The school shouldn't make such a big deal out of it. She wants to wear a tux. Oh noez! Civilization will crumble! Really, what is so horrible about it? Although on a certain level I really can't relate to the entire prom experience as I went to a hippy high school in Massachusetts. We had one dance every year and some people treated it like prom and some people didn't.
