Morehouse College (which, as most readers will know, is a private historically black liberal arts college for men) is
in the news for its ban on “the wearing of women's clothes, makeup, high heels
and purses as part of a new crackdown on what the institution calls
inappropriate attire.” CNN story
here:
The dress-wearing ban is aimed at a small part of the private
college's 2,700-member student body, said Dr. William Bynum, vice president for
Student Services.
"We are talking about five students who are living a gay
lifestyle that is leading them to dress a way we do not expect in Morehouse
men," he said.

Tim Cavanaugh has a funny take on why he thinks the ban will be ineffective, which begins by noting that “For as long as
men and women have been wearing clothes, men have been finding excuses to dress
up like women,” and concludes that “Morehouse is a private school, and it goes
without saying that there are countless other colleges for men with a real
commitment to fabulousness.”
