After Push From LGBTQ+ Activists, Elk Grove Village Takes Antiquated Ban On Wearing ‘Clothes Belonging To The Opposite Sex’ Off Books By Dana Kozlov ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Illinois (WBBM) — Only men should wear pants and women wear skirts – that is the gist of a law still in effect in many Chicago suburbs. As CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov reported, Elk Grove Village took action against that law on Wednesday. It came thanks to a push from a local attorney and some young activists, who said this is yet another step toward equality. “We did it right way, because It’s not a reflection of this village,” said Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson.
