Lesbian Yearbook Flap

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Ceara Sturgis wants to be in a tuxedo for her senior yearbook picture. And the ACLU is threatening legal action if her photo isn't accepted.

Everyone at Ceara's Mississippi high school knows she's a lesbian. She's an honor student, trumpet player and goalie on the school's soccer team. The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi says it will take the school district (Copiah County Schools) to court if Ceara can't wear a tux, which is traditionally worn by boys for their yearbook headshots.

Ceara's mother notes the girl doesn't even own a dress. District officials are declining comment on the threatened suit.
