Male student beats the odds and wins homecoming queen

There is something familiar and something different about homecoming court this year.

According to this year's queen, the title for the last three years now has gone to a Greek organization member, but now the crown belongs to a man.

Nick Bell is a 22 year old student in his fourth year of theater studies here at WSU, and a member of Phi Kappa Tau.

"I wanted to reverse the stereotype associated with the word queen," said Bell.  "If we kept the word queen to its literal meaning I would have no problem, and I think the LGBTQA community would not as well."
