Small business owners in Nashville will host prom for student denied from school dance for wearing a suit | CNN

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.

“While we certainly respect a student’s right to disagree, all of our students know from our school handbook that when they do not follow such expectations at school-sponsored events, they may be asked to leave,” the statement said. CNN has reached out to Hayes for comment. Hayes’ post was shared with business owners Derek and Marcie Allen Van Mol, who own AB Hillsboro Village, an event venue in Nashville.
