So, this article is really interesting. It doesn't relate to sports, but it relates to the way that people treat homosexuals which is our topic in a week or so. This young man transferred to a new school and after being there for a very short amount of time, was asked to dress more manly. He went to school wearing wigs, make-up, girl's tops, and high heels with his toes painted. I beleive that this is wrong. The school should be able to tall some one that they can come dresses in clothes that a person of the oppposite sex would wear on a normal basis. If a girl was to come to school wearing a baggy shirt, skater shoes, and baggy pants, she wouldn't get asked to dress more like a lady, so why does a guy have to be asked to dress more like a man? I personally wouldn't dress in guys clothing, but it is not fair to punish some one who is expressing their personality becuase I wont do it. These people at this school in Georgia are wrong. In protest of the school telling this boy that he either has to change his clothes into manly clothes or stay home, students are going to wear bright pink shirts all on the same day. I think that we should all wear bright pink shirts on the same day!
