Girls can wear pants all the time without becoming lesbians, but it's not okay to allow boys to wear a skirt, ever, because they won't understand the concept of "special occasion" and might grow up to become one of those hoomoos and, I don't know, beat up on straight kids. It is, however, okay to encourage your young kids to dress up in camoflauge like soldiers, because it's all right if they kill people, so long as they aren't gay.
Got it, thanks.
Got it, thanks.

Also, this reminds me of the many times I've seen where people won't allow a guy on a field hockey team because the uniform includes wearing a skirt.
