'Girls wear dresses... that's the way it is': School principal tells lesbian senior she can't wear a tuxedo to prom
A gay student in Louisiana says she is going to skip her senior prom because the school principal won't let her wear a tuxedo.

Claudetteia Love, a senior and one of the top students at Carroll High in Monroe, said she was planning on going to the prom without a date and with a group of friends, but now she and her friends are staying away.

Hmmm. This probably is a debatable topic on a couple of levels.

I was talking to a few teenagers at a nail salon last prom season. There were a lot of them there getting their 'nails did'.

Was asking them about the prom. They started telling me about how much everything costs, in addition to your grooming and outfits. There's a fee to go to a high school prom, along with other additional fees to the school. It sounded like a really expensive event to attend.

They said that not many people go to the prom because of the cost involved, and that hardly anyone goes. I would imagine that is so with the current economy and people just barely getting by.

My question is: who can afford to even go to the prom these days? Why doesn't this girl just comply? Schools do have dress codes. I think they have the authority to institute dress codes in high school.

Even if the homosexual issue were not part of the complaining, sometimes a suit with pants is in vogue for females. However, if it's a rule not to wear it, just find something else to wear and go and have a good time, and count your blessings that you can afford to attend, when others cannot.

The article says that she is one of the top students in the school. So what? Does that mean that the rules should be rewritten for one person?

What IS the problem?

You raise some fair, intelligent and deep questions.

But I think it mostly comes down to this:

Most Americans are sick of dykes, homos, trannies and other drama whores and wish they would go away and shut the hell up.

This is what is so questionable about this wonderful "gay lifestyle". That is, if it were so fun, enjoyable and makes one feel so gay, as the original meaning of that term would indicate, then why are the "gay" people seemingly so unhappy?

Re: 'Girls wear dresses... that's the way it is': School principal tells lesbian senior she can't wear a tuxedo to prom
There are tuxedo styles for women to look classy at parties. Ties even. Pants, and shiny shoes. And cummerbunds.

Just don't show up in a man-brand tux, even when one is a gender bender because it has to be special not a rental.

Prom is a rite of passage and everybody gets an equal chance. As long as they show up it's a fun thing, or ought to be. Banning that fun, that's a control freak principal, fashion police.

This Monroe Principal is a moron. The kid needs a rite of passage prom experience no matter where they go. If they get a diploma, they can get a prom ticket, I think.

Re: 'Girls wear dresses... that's the way it is': School principal tells lesbian senior she can't wear a tuxedo to prom
See, if a principal demands a dress at a prom, just myself I'd consider that an act of sexual harassment or manipulation. I hate wearing dresses because someone tells me, because a dress can be an item worn by sexually objectified women. I don't like the exposure or the demands for the accessories like shoes and hose and other shit.

I'd wear a dress...if nobody told me to. It's about who gets the control. If someone takes a control over what I wear, that's a manipulation I don't want to endure because it crosses my gender identity boundaries -- *I* get to say what *I* wear, not some other person.

If it was elementary school and the teacher said wear a dress to photo day -- I had one who did that -- fine that's kid-level but when you're a teen, you've got more boundaries that need respecting and being told to wear a skirt or dress, that's a boundary crossed for some women. What next, a demand to wear makeup or something? Why don't you make her wear a hijab while you're at it, control freak principal? Dammit.

Down here, they have to pay a pretty good fee to go to the prom, plus other school charges. Not many can go because of this. So, again I say, just be grateful to attend and stop making a fuss about it. Good grief. I wonder: exactly what would make certain people happy. Sounds like she has a case of the 'if onlys'.

Get use to a fucking life where you aren't in control and the libertard police state controls how you wipe your ass.

Totally crock of shit telling kids today bucking the system is a right of passage. Tell them the truth. You follow the state approved agenda and the right political clique or they are going to smoke your fucking ass, like that pizza owner in Indiana.

But you are a typical dumb as shit woman. You are given "power," to choose how you dress or who you fuck, and you think this makes you powerful and free in a micro managed police state.

The problem is telling someone that if they have a vagina, they have to wear a skirt or dress.

One step up from a burqa but also a step below pants.

Does she have to wear a skirt or dress to school? Is it a private school or a public school?

Dressy attire for women can be a dress or pants - is there something informal about a tux?

Is there any reason to ruin this girl's high school prom because you're afraid if she comes in a tux she may encourage further nonconformity?

That may be true but the same would go for telling a young man he can't wear a dress.

Re: 'Girls wear dresses... that's the way it is': School principal tells lesbian senior she can't wear a tuxedo to prom
I think part of the whole issue here is to look at
the demographics of where this story is coming from.
The story is about a high school in a southern state
and NOT somewhere like San Francisco....where something
like that is SO YESTERDAY'S NEWS it isn't funny.

I am not an expert in what the "trends" might be in
that area--as I don't know if we are talking about
New Orleans or some little hick town else where in
the state--but generally speaking the religious and
political mindset is probably much more conservative
than some other areas might be.

If you are living in a Bible-belt state where the
"old tyme religion" is still alive and influencing public
opinion, then you have to understand that they would not
be bending to the "gay agenda." Actually, if they had
allowed her to wear a TUX...THAT would be more news
than having them refuse! lol!
I'm not going to even state what my side of this issue
I might be on--just want you to look at where this girl is
going to school and what that high school principal is
enforcing via the majority opinion of the parents rather
than following what is popular in media.

I grew up in the Mid-west and had some gal come to
the principal (at my school) to tell him she was planning
to wear a tux to "express her sexuality" she would not only NOT have worn a tux, she probably would have been suspended.
This chick is going to be trouble anywhere she goes
and given that she is a "good student" I would expect her
to be an activist in her college as well.
I'm sorry, but the Principal has to enforce the standards
of the people in his community. That's just how it goes.
cheers
