After the yearbooks were printed, the Missouri school district apologizes.

A Missouri school district said administrators censored lighthearted yearbook quotes by a pair of gay students celebrating their sexual orientation because they could have “offended” other students.

The students, Joey Slivinski and Thomas Swartz, each selected quotes expressing their sexual orientation to appear beneath their senior portraits.

The quote Slivinski submitted read: “Of course I dress well, I didn’t spend all that time in the closet for nothing.”
