Gary, Indiana (AHN)-A male student who has worn women's clothes to school all year was turned away from his high school prom because he was wearing a dress.

18-year-old Kevin Logan went to the West Side High School prom in a slinky fuchsia gown and heels, and believes officials discriminated against him by not allowing him inside.

Logan, who is gay, received an $85 refund for his prom ticket but was not satisfied, and may consider filing a complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana.

However, Sylvester Rowan, assistant to Gary Schools Superintendent Mary Steele, says school policy bans males from wearing dresses. She says excluding Logan from the prom was based on "the dress code, not the student's homosexuality. That's his personal preference."

According to the report, Logan says he had spent years defining and exploring his sexuality. This year, he took a major step by dressing as a female every day, wearing makeup, a hair weave, nails and girls' fitted jeans to school.
