In a September 25 ruling, a federal judge in Gary, Indiana, gave a
green light to a lawsuit by a transsexual high school student suing
over his principal's refusal to allow him to attend the prom in a
dress.

US District Judge Joseph S. Van Bokkelen, of the Northern District of
Indian, denied public school administrators' motion to dismiss the
suit filed by Kevin "K.K." Logan against the Gary Community School
Corporation. The court found that the defendants had not met the high
standard for a motion to dismiss, which essentially is that they show
that the plaintiff has no plausible claim.
