Yes, yes not too long ago we asked, "Can We Stop It With The Gay Male Prom Queens Already?" But that was when a bunch of gay boys were stealing tiaras from their female classmates. But now that we've met Andii Viveros, McFatter Technical High School's 17-year-old transgender prom queen (the second ever trans prom queen in the entire galaxy) we're ready to bow down to Her Majesty. And only partially because she has an It Gets Better video and her own queer youth outreach page on Facebook.

The first trans prom queen was actually Crystal Vera of Fresno, California—a young woman who won by a 5-to-1 margin at her 500-student arts magnet high school.
