Related: About this forumMale student wears dress to prom to support LGBT rights
Unfortunately his bid for prom queen didn't sit too well with school officials.
TEMPE, AZ (CBS5) - When you think of a high school prom, you probably imagine girls in beautiful dresses and guys in their tuxes, but a teenager says his rights were violated when a Tempe school told him he could not run for prom queen.
"It's just about a perfect fitting dress and everyone says it looks flattering on me," said 17-year-old McClintock High School student River Flanary.
He is far from a typical teenage boy.

He just cannot pull that look off! Perhaps a shave and a haircut might help, but that beard totally distracts from the pretty dress.
Oh, and and K & R.

One day (hopefully not in the distant future) stories like this will not exist.

And do expect adults to be drawn to rummage through your bursa!
