These guys have been set up. These pictures will haunt them the rest of their (short) careers.
At my Oklahoma high school in '67 or '68, they had a Mess (fill in the HS name) pageant for males in drag. The guy that won committed suicide before the 5th anniversary because of the ribbing he received. There was nothing ever vicious said, he was a nice and well liked guy, it just turned out to be what he was most remembered for and talked about.
