Hee. Of the 150 people we took pictures of for the yearbook, I'd guess fifty of them were wearing a blazer with trousers. Actually, that's what I'm wearing right now. Guess my school's just full of gender-questioning people. Oh, and last year one girl went to prom in a suit- no-one had a problem.
"Every year, similar stories surface in the press about schools trying to bar gay, lesbian or transgender kids from the yearbook or a school activity or in some cases, even from attending classes, because of their clothes." Unbelievable.
I'm just as irate as anyone about the issue, but the constant and painful neglect for rules of grammar within the article itself irks me almost as much. *twitch*
I think it is about uniformity. I think part of the problem people have about homosexuality is that it's people acting differently. Ooooh, they're different! How scary.

Of course, she happened to be ten at the time, a friend of my young friend Elise, which really explains where the minds of most homophobes are.
