His parents were very nice to let him wear a dress and it was also very nice the jury only judged dresses and not who wears those dresses.
At least it ended very well, it could have been differently.
When my son was 2, he got into the laundry basket and a pulled on a Hello Kitty tank top of mine, and ran outside and played his with toy cars in front of our apartment. One of my neighbors ranted and raved for a minute about "how dare I put that on him!" and how I was going to "turn him gay!". I pointed out that if putting a dress on would make him gay, my dad would have turned gay when he lost that bet 20 years ago and had to wear a dress and high heels.
Not that it would matter one bit if my son was gay or not, but still, getting bent out of shape over a little boy in a shirt is ridiculous.
In kindergarten, my little brother wanted to be a princess and it was my wish to go as a Native American.
So he got my princess dress I didn't like anyways and I turned one of his old shirts into one that Winnetou would've been proud of.
I have a friend who allegedly owned one or two princess dresses as a child. He'd put it on his wish list for Christmas and it was a very easy to fulfill wish, so he got it. He did indeed play with it, but turned out to be a crazy and overly manly guy later on :P The funny and kind version of crazy, that is, but overly manly and crazy all the same.
I just sent this to my friend, her son wore a dress to his school Christmas concert and no one said a thing. Guess my part of Canada is becoming more accepting that in the past.
It's nice to know there are places that stories like this can come from. If a young boy had done that where and when I grew up, he would have risked a beating from his classmates (even in kindergarten) and would have been mercilessly teased about it for years if he wasn't forced to change schools.
