If people want to be gay together, let them be gay, but don't ruin a school tradition by trying to be cute and bring forth unwanted attention. All this is going to do is turn these lovers into a bigger joke than it needs to be and piss off everyone else.

When I was in high school, there was a gay black kid(back when being gay wasn't a big deal like it is now) and he wanted to be a cheerleader, but there were no(and never were) any male cheerleaders in my school system, so they gave in and let this kid dress up in a marching band type costume and then go to games and functions and dance around with the cheerleaders. It was very tacky and the female cheerleaders hated it because he made a spectacle out of himself and took away attention from the girls.

Keep the tradition what it is supposed to be and quit caving in and using gay people as scapegoats for attention.
