LGBT Gay Student to Miss Prom After Louisiana School Says No Tux

A gay student in Louisiana has decided to miss her senior prom this year after her high school told her she can’t wear a tuxedo.

Claudetteia Love told The (Monroe, La.) News-Star that she thinks Carroll High School is using its dress code to condemn her sexual orientation.

“I told my mom, ‘They’re using me,'” she said. “They put me in all these honors and advanced placement classes so I can take all of these tests and get good grades and better the school, but when it’s time for me to celebrate the fact that I’ve accomplished what I need to accomplish and I’m about to graduate, they don’t want to let me do it, the way I want to.”

The school’s principal, Patrick Taylor, insisted to the newspaper that the tuxedo rule isn’t about sexual orientation, rather just an issue of dress code. Geraldine Jackson, the girl’s mother, said the principal told her that teachers said they would refuse to chaperone the event if the dress code wasn’t enforced. Jackson said he told her that “girls wear dresses and boys wear tuxes, and that’s the way it is.”

I love the response from the school board.

Rodney McFarland, president of the Monroe City School Board, told the newspaper. “You can’t just go making up policies.”

life can be such a burden at times

I wish that's all I had to worry over

Now, as much as I say these gays should stop trying to force everyone to accept them or whatever, I believe it is entirely retarded for this school to tell a female student they can't wear a tux. There is absolutely nothing inappropriate with a tux.

Good for the High School.........

Good for the school. Honestly I'd prefer more schools (and society in general) enforce dress codes.

It's actually the complete opposite. A dress is much more revealing than a tuxedo. And according to the school board the policy doesn't even exist. I have a feeling this principal won't have his job for very long.

I agree. Good for the High School. They'll have a new principal soon.

The girls should dress like girls and the boys dress like boys.

Homos that can't abide by the dress code just need to stay home.

Or else hold their own weirdo fruitcake prom. .....

Any school without a dress code or thst had allowed this type of problem to persist would not have a child of mine in it.

It's hard to take your opinion seriously when you would have girls go to the prom dressed like this.

I love when schools do this

They always end up humiliating themselves
