Locals address Atlanta college's cross-dressing policy

A small private college made an amendment to its dress code last month, effectively banning cross-dressing and drawing attention nationally.

Morehouse College, located in Atlanta, Ga., is an all-male institution, as well as a historically black college and university (HBCU). In October the college's "Appropriate Attire Policy" banned "clothing associated with women's garb" and also has provisions against attire such as hats in certain areas of campus and the height of pants worn on campus, according to the college's press release.

The policy, which came about in response to the lifestyles of five males on campus, has received attention locally as well as nationally. Blogs and Web sites helped bring attention to the policy on the national stage, with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on college campuses vocalizing their opinions.
