“We were sitting in our community meeting, and the teachers told us about the dress code...and then the girls asked why it mainly applied to girls," Neuner said in an interview with Mic . "Then they said it doesn't, it also applies to boys, but also it's because it's a distraction for boys. It made me feel uncomfortable, because I don't want boys looking at me in weird ways and it was awkward. It made me feel sad, because I knew friends in that room who were lesbian or gay who were left out, and I saw another girl look down and looked upset because they said that."
