Ceara Sturgis’ Tuxedo Yearbook Photo That Her High School Won’t Publish

Ceara

THE SHOT — Ceara Sturgis, an openly gay Mississippi student whose high school Wesson Attendance Center refused to run a photo of her wearing a tuxedo in her senior yearbook. This, despite no policy in place banning “cross-dressing” and a policy that “prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, or sex.” Oooh, and now the ACLU is involved!

Watch the report from KOLD below, and fall in love with Ceara’s supportive mom Veronica Rodriguez.
