BANG! This thread just got blown way out of proportion.

It was a girl wearing a tux, not Lily Savage doing stand up.

not really...a girl wearing guys clothing is crossdressing is it not? lol 😕

and as for the clown-funeral thing...it was just another situation to think about. theres no RULES for showing up at a funeral in a black suit, but people do it because its a formal occassion, same sorta thing as this photoshoot.

it wasnt appropriate clothing for the phot obviously, may not have been rules about it but at the principles discression she was removed...just as at the family's disgression i would be removed from the funeral 😛

what if an openly gay male wore heavy make up to the photo shoot what then, would they remove his picture as well

(you read what I said about the difference)
if people start taking these books as serious as funerals there is something wrong with that schools ideas on how to devote valuable resources and time

Actually I think no one should be offended by cloth, well as long as its not a shirt with somnething really offensive to a person or group written on it. And actually nudity is acceptable by any means, why shouldn't it, its a different thing though if they said before that women had to show up in dress and men in tux if they didn't or they just said formal its perfectly ok for the girl to wear what she did.

Sure

im not saying its as serious, im just saying it would be treated in the same way...if the clothing isnt deemed appropriate, the offending person would be removed in both cases - yea, a funeral is more serious...but doesnt stop them being treated in the same way...

and if a guy turned up in heavy makeup, he'd be removed aswell...sexual orientation has no part to play in the situation lol

Oh and for the clown thingy, well its not appropriaate and the person that does it most likely is an idiot, but if he wants tro well let them

which it shouldn't be because there is a huge difference. (as I have said before)

thx finti

there is a huge difference i know, get over it lol.
my point was they are HANDLED the same way, anything deemed inappropriate is removed!

sexual orientation has nothing to do with it, every1 would be treated the same way.

the point is...the principle was given the ability to say what was appropriate and what wasnt...he used that ability, and because she was a lesbian, this a massive scandal. forgetting the fact that 999 (guess) other students turned up in perfectly acceptable clothing.

Buit not even the clown would be removed....except by the relatives who sure have the right too.

Well if they aren't the same then they shouldn't be HANDLED the same either.

Sexual orientation has idd nothing to do wiv it

acceptable clothing is a term that should not be determined by one man.

the 999 other students can turn up in what the hell they want. Which still doesn't change the fact that this was a violation of freedom of expression

A clown in a funeral! That would really be something to watch! 😆

I agree with the principal's decision.

A guy wearing a spaghetti strap dress shouldn't/wouldn't be allowed to wear a dress in school picture, so why should a girl be allowed to wear something that suits the male dress code.

And YES, i know there was no enforced dress code, but guess what....school's have dress codes, and at dances and school sponsored events the school's dress code carries over....i don't see why it shouldn't now.

And as for defending the "male should be aloud to wear a kilt" arguement...give it a rest. School pictures are taken from the waist up...and kilt is like a skirt...not a full dress. I've seen Sean Connery wear a kilt with a Tux top.

This girl got shut down for trying to go out of her way to be "different" and she got taken down a peg so she would realize that she isn't different than anyone else...regardless of her sexual preferences.

Thereis a hint of truth to your statement. However, the fact remains that there is nothing inappropriate about a tuxedo. The issue here is a woman wearing a tuxedo. Now, I have a hard time understanding this because I myself am wearing a tuxedo in my year book pictures. But, we all did...the guys at least. The girls wore a simple black dress. Now, I can assure you that if one of the girls at my school showed up in a tuxedo, the powers that be would have stopped their picture from being in the year book. The only difference is that in my case, the powers that be were Catholic nuns, becuase I went to a Catholic school my whole life. If this was a public school, I seriously doubt that a girl in a tuxedo would have been a problem. In fact, I'll guarentee that she looked better that a whole hell of a lot of the other students. Torn jeans and trench coats with long stringy black hair down to your ass doesn't look good...any way you look at it. So, in a private denominational school, I can understand the need to remove her picture. Because she goes to a school where she is expected to adhere to certain things. However, if this was a public school a) she's allowed to wear a tuxedo and b)she likely looked better than most of the trash that don't care how they look.

Which actually raises another question in my mind. What if they decided that all the guys with long hair couldn't be allowed to appear in the year book for the same reasons?

How many other girls got excluded from the year book for wearing a tuxedo?

None. She's the exception....that's called being "different."

Why did she want to wear a tuxedo of all things? Why not just wear a dress like the rest of her entire graduating class?

I understand the point you are trying to make, but what happens when a male wears a dress...better yet....a strapless dress to take those pictures? Same ruling...only no big fuss about it. The reason why the principal dis-allowed the tux was because he would be setting a double standard against the males.
