Morehouse bans cross-dressing

<p>I think the problem here is not that they set dress code standards (Morehouse is far from the only college to do this) but that they set this particular standard is clearly aimed at an already marginalized community on campus. It would be fine by me if the administration wanted to say, “no cross dressing allowed”, but by specifically stating that this policy was aimed at people in the “gay lifestyle” on campus, puts out the message that it’s perfectly okay to treat this group as undesirable and substandard, as somehow less than true Morehouse men. And I think it’s inappropriate for the administration to be putting their imprimatur on that message, it only encourages students to ostracize and treat badly the gay community on campus, becuase they know the administration will probably not stand up for the picked on students.</p>
