In the back of his mind, Mel Gonzales had a good feeling he was about to be crowned Austin High School homecoming king. But as he and his fellow nominees stood on the field of Mercer Stadium on Friday, Sept. 12, he deliberately distanced himself from the notion.

The 17-year-old from Sugar Land knew he ran a more active campaign the other candidates, and was already thrilled to have made it to the top 5. Still, he took care not to prematurely accept this idea as fact. With his mother by his side, he stoically waited before the crowd to hear who his peers chose as their Class of 2015 homecoming king.

Wonder how many times it will have to happen that a trans kid succeeds at something that millions of cis kids have done before people stop thinking it's remarkable and newsworthy.
