Sadie Hawkins
This is from today’s Pridelets (which also notes that today is the birthday of Rock Hudson, Howard Dean, and RuPaul):
On this day in 2004, the annual Spurger, Texas “Sadie Hawkins Day” dance is cancelled after the Liberty Legal Institute says the event “causes homosexuality.” With the females not only asking out the boys but both genders attending the high school Homecoming week dance in drag, one overly protective parent says, “It might be fun today to dress up like a little girl - kids think it’s cute and things like that. And you start playing around with it and, like drugs, you do a little here and there and eventually it gets you.” What’s the more heterosexual alternative? “Camouflage Day,” with all the kids able to claim that their mothers wear “army boots.” (Gee, that’s much better.) There is a protest to the military theme with several boys opting to don pink gym shorts as part of their outfits.
