In response to the recent articles on mustaches, it seems growing a mustache is only done to either be trendy or to stand out on campus.
I feel here at BYU people are too concerned with how people look and dress. In reality it’s impossible to pin a person’s reasons for growing a mustache to just two reasons.
Like Rod Kimball, who suffers from a hormone disorder, I too am attempting to grow a mustache.
I have never worn a V-neck or skinny jeans and I think it is wrong to say a mustache is purely a hipster trend.
My reason is not for the purpose of channeling the powers of a great stuntman, but to honor the hollowed month of Movember, like I have done since high school.
Whether a ’stache is here in honor of Movember or to keep a constantly cold upper lip warm, it does not matter.
This section often seems to be a “What Not to Wear” section.
What someone else wears does not affect your personal worthiness or your ability to obey the Honor Code.
People should focus on bettering themselves rather than judging others for a ’stache or the lack thereof.
