so in what culture do women wear tux's lol?
its a girl wearing mens clothes for a formal yearbook photo (regardless of whether dress codes were laid down, im damn sure people are led to assume its a formal occassion) and as such, it was removed...sexual orientation is besides the point. and it should be dealt with exactly the same way as if a guy wore a dress. they should be removed, because altho the clothes may be formal, by cross-dressing, you remove the formality
If theres 1000 kids at the school, and they all wear suitable clothing except 1 lesbian...why is it the schools fault when she's removed?
Bardock, thats just stupid... and if i turned up in a nazi uniform and matching tasche? i should be allowed? - granted not everything people would wear would be offensive (nudity would...and also to some, crossdressing would)
but the point is, it was a formal occassion...regardless of set regulations, im pretty sure (as was with my yearbook photo) they would be told it was formal.
like i said....1000 (guess) people showed up for the picture, ONE was removed...thats not sexism, thats not homophobia, thats inappropriate clothing for a photo!
if you go to a funeral in a clown costume then you would idd prolly be removed or atleast it would not appreciated by the relatives.
However there is IMO a big difference between something so emotionally charged as a funeral and something as common as a year book picture
(if you don't like to have it in your copy you can still put a sticker or something like that over it)
