Why did she even ask?

Just show up wearing what you want to wear

Nobody said anything when I wore my sisters ball gown to my prom... It's not like I was gay or anything, we were poor and hand me downs were all I had as a young man.
we used to DREAM of wearing a ball gown, it would have been luxury to us... I had to wear my father's bra and capri slacks to work in the mines at 4 AM half an hour before I went to bed

My daughter's school recently had a semi-formal dance and the dressing guidelines were on the back of the ticket (like no strapless dresses, dresses can't be too short, guys should wear a collared shirt, belt, and dress slacks).

When I was dropping her off, we actually saw one boy wearing a tux, and my daughter (not gay) said what if a girl wanted to wear a tux? I told her that has happened in some schools, and that most people are more concerned with the girls wearing too-sleazy outfits, as evidenced by the guidelines.

It's like this with kids. You have to have strict laws or they will run all over you. So you let one girl wear a tux. The next year 5 more will be demanding to express themselves by wearing bikinis. Pretty soon prom is a joke; ruined for the 90% of the kids who want a traditional prom.

I work with kids and I know what they do

It's not a gay issue; its a control issue.

Next year some jackass boy will be showing up in a prom dress.

Yeah but he is still within the parameters of a "tux". Ugly, yes-but not breaking any rules.

Yep but then comes the parent phone calls. Whining about traditional prom. Bad PR and too many fuzzy lines. A school must maintain control.
