In a beautiful display of consideration for the gay community at BYU, the HCO has updated the grooming standards to allow gay students to have a fake significant other of the opposite sex—otherwise known as a beard.

“This whole time, I thought I wasn’t allowed to fake date my lesbian friend without a beard card,” said gay student John Gay. “I’m so glad we can finally pretend to be together. Thanks, BYU!”

For clarification, we asked the HCO whether this updated rule would also apply to those using someone as a beard without their knowledge.

“Facial hair is obviously of the devil but these kinds of beards are always allowed,” said the Honor Code Big Boss when questioned about the policy.

We’re glad to see they’ve still got their priorities straight, even if the students aren’t!
