K.K. Logan, who at the time identified as a feminine male and now identifies as female, was physically blocked by the school principal from entering the West Side High School senior prom in May 2006. The principal was enforcing a school policy forbidding the wearing of clothing or accessories that "advertise sexual orientation" or "portray the wearer as a person of the opposite gender," although a female student was allowed to attend wearing a tuxedo, according to Lambda.
