A fresh manicure makes Trevor Wilkinson feel a little more like his true self.
And now, after a fight that lasted most of his senior year, the teenager can breathe easily in his Texas high school knowing that he fought for the right to be unapologetic about who he is.
Wilkinson, 18, an openly gay teen in Abilene, Texas, about 140 miles west of Fort Worth had been suspended several times from Clyde High School for wearing nail polish because it didn’t comply with the school district’s dress code policy.
The previous policy made distinctions based on gender. That included banning males from wearing makeup and nail polish, according to Wilkinson.
Texas high school senior Trevor Wilkinson made headlines in December after he was suspended for wearing nail polish. Now the gay teen is making headlines again, this time.
