LAKE GENEVA, Wis., May 11 (UPI) -- A 5-foot tall, well-muscled male Wisconsin student has been suspended from school and fined for defying school orders not to wear a dress to the prom.
Kerry Lofy, 18, completed his 3-day suspension at home in Lake Geneva Wednesday, admitting to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "things got a little crazy" Saturday night at Badger High School, where he is a senior.
Lofy went to the prom with Victor Anderson, a gay friend. Lofy said he is not gay, but went with Anderson because he is his friend and he wanted to go to the prom but didn't have a date.
However, he admitted he had been warned repeatedly Friday not to wear a dress to Saturday's prom, but said he doesn't understand all the fuss.
"I wasn't hurting anybody," he said. "I wasn't preventing anyone from learning in a school environment."
Last year, he showed up to prom wearing a tuxedo he made out of duct tape, the newspaper said.
