"Small business owners in Nashville will host prom for student denied from school dance for wearing
a suit." Small business owners in Nashville are stepping up after a high school student was turned away from their senior prom for wearing a suit.
B. Hayes, 18 – who uses they/he pronouns, according to their Instagram account – said they weren’t “allowed in the doors” because they were wearing a suit.
Hayes’ post had more than 23,000 likes and almost 2,000 comments as of Wednesday. Hayes said they have attended Nashville Christian School for 13 years.
“I should not have to conform to femininity to attend my senior prom. I will not compromise who I am to fit in a box,” the post read. “who are you to tell us what it means to be a woman?”
