I agree that that is sexist and illegal. But that isn't that same situation.
The lesbian's rights were not being violated when she was told she couldn't get her picture taken with a tux. There was a standard that she didn't agree with and therefore she can choose either to take a picture with a dress or to not take a picture at all. I don't see where any rights are being violated.
Not being a civil rights expert, I may be talking out of my ass (that won't stop me), but I believe her rights may be violated in that her twin brother MAY wear a tux in a public event, but she MAY NOT, based on sex only.

Or not.
Ok this isn't a public event, this is a picture for a yearbook. A yearbook that is to represent a school. The school has a standard for the girls and boys to look a certain way.
She did not like the standard. She has a choice to make. She can either conform and wear a dress like all the other girls who have no problem with the standard OR she can not have her picture taken.
heterosexuals are also reckless when they are young, it's just not the gay ones.
my oldest is not gay but she is very unconventional when it comes to fashion, personally i could care less what she wears for school pictures as long as it's not skanky. if the school has rules, then she follows those rules. i had no problem with what the school did..you can have tux photos taken on the side.
Thanks Red, though, I'm talking about private gay parties (afte the bars) that get problematic (seems universal with the gay community). If you are not gay and you don't have a gay child---it's tough to compare the two. Red, I'm not going anywhere with this, just weighing in.
