The rights violation in question was the drag queen(him) being refused admission because of the dress. The lesbian is "her"...and she wore her tux without being hassled. Hence the theory that to not allow him to wear a dress was gender discrimination...because if he was female he'd apparently be allowed to wear either a dress or a tux...since she was.

I think this line's mostly filler.

No, the lesbian was saying that the gay student in the headline had his rights violated. The lesbian's rights weren't violated.

Thank you for that clarification. It does make sense read that way. Not particularly well written, but...ok.

Until you remeber that the lesbian is a gay student too. ;-)

There's only one Drag Queen in the story though. The lesbian is a Drag King.
I wonder if she was packing?

I noticed that, which is why I added the "in the headline" clause.

As did the bigoted administration's ability to think for themselves.

Had he worn a (real) kilt and associated items, would he have been banned?

I doubt it very much. Unless by "associated items" you mean something other than sporran or pipes.

A sgian dubh would no doubt be a violation of the "zero-tolerance for weapons" policy.

Or the 2 Dirks and 2 pistols in the belt as required for formal attire.
