The openly gay senior had called the previous policy discriminatory.

A Texas school district has adopted a new gender-neutral dress code after making national headlines in December for suspending an openly gay male student who wore nail polish to school.

Trevor Wilkinson, a senior, said he received in-school suspension when he returned from Thanksgiving break wearing nail polish. Wilkinson started a Change.org petition shortly after being suspended titled “Allow males to wear nail polish,” which received more than 400,000 signatures as of Wednesday. The district did not comment on Wilkinson’s suspension, but Superintendent Ken Berry said in a statement at the time, “The District will conduct a thorough review of its dress code when it performs its annual review of the Student Handbook, and, until that time, the District will assure that no student is treated in a discriminatory or inequitable manner,” according to KRBC-TV.
