Flanagan High School's principal had two meetings with senior Oscar Bonilla because administrators were concerned about his safety if he wore a dress to prom. Officials say that when he came to the second meeting, Bonilla parked in a visitor space and ignored orders to move.
Broward schools spokeswoman Nadine Drew says Bonilla was suspended for two days for the parking problem, which kept him from attending Friday's dance. Bonilla says he was running late and didn't hear a security guard tell him to move his car.
The student, who finished second in voting for prom queen, says he was trying to encourage closeted students to abandon their fears and be themselves.

Shame on the cowardly school administration. They were so concerned for his safety that they had to grab the first possible excuse to force him not to attend the prom. Spineless assholes!
He doesn't look half bad.
Good. That's creepy.
Insolitus: "Cowardly" is exactly the right word for the school administration. Kudos to the kid for his bravery!
