Poll of the Day > 17 y/o LESBIAN Girl's Yearbook Pic is REMOVED cause it's OFFENSIVE!! Is It???

(+) Yeah! (+)

An Alabama High School is facing outrage for keeping an LGBT Student's Picture OUT of the yearbook because she chose to wore a "non-typical" outfit for her picture instead of a DRESS as her outfit was deemed OFFENSIVE!!

Springville High School Senior, 17 y/o Holley Gerelds said she proudly identifies as a member of the LGBT and just wanted to be herself as the school's photographer said it was OK for her to wear what she wore

She asked if she could wear this as she's more comfortable in that because she feels like she's wearing a drape if she had to wear a dress as it wasn't her

But when she got her senior yearbook, she wasn't surprised that the words "not pictured" was printed there instead and said "I hate to say, but i'm used to it. i saw it coming. I honestly just laughed..i feel like i did nothing wrong. I paid, i was on time"

Scrutinizing gender norms and stifling political expression in yearbook photos is a common practice for grade school admins.

In 2014, Utah's Wasatch High School went as far as PHOTOSHOP SLEEVES on girls

But the school superintendent, Mike Howard said their senior pics were taken in accordance with "long standing school guidelines" but noted that that the district is in the process of re-evaluating those guidelines on possible changes and said that they will include all students that participated in their senior portrait process regardless of their choice of attire.

Gereld said she wanted to shed light on the issue of discrimination at her school to prevent future students from going through what others had to endure

The school has a long standing policy that Girls must wear DRESSES for their portraits while Guys wear SUITS

Do you have a problem with what Holley wore?

This ^

It's also in Utah. As someone who lived there for 11 years, it is in no way surprising that this happened. It has nothing to do with today's PC culture, and everything to do with church views that are spread not only at church and home, but they have the option of basically bible study as a credited class in public high schools. It. Is. Everywhere. Oh, and they don't liek teh gheyz.

Utah will be one of the last bastions of ignorance due to religious texts that give them the armor to be bigots.

OFFS let her wear the god damned suit.

nope, I looked at the picture before reading the article and saw nothing offensive.... then read the article and groaned that this was deemed offensive

Given how badly she failed to pull off that look, my eyes were certainly offended. Maybe if she didn't go with a bowtie...

Of course you'd say some dumbass shit like this.

Look at me I'm wear giant glasses.

Look at me I'm a lesbian.

Look at me I'm wearing boy clothes.

I think this girl wants attention.

I want to be on her side because it's kind of dumb, but if it's school policy, your parent or guardian agreed to it when you were enrolled.

Why should they have to wear a dress. You only see the top portion, anyway...

Not to mention, the photo is usually for friends. It shouldn't matter what she wears. If anything, it makes more sense to wear stuff she normally wears as that's how people will remember her...
