A gay Florida teenager banned from attending his own high school prom instead attended a gay prom, and was named prom queen -- the fulfillment of his dream. But with ecstasy comes agony -- his parents have kicked him out of their house.

Last month Omar Bonilla ran for prom queen at his school in Pembroke Pines. He finished in the top three. But school officials said they "feared for his safety" if he attended the prom in drag as his alter ego Allison Rodriguez. They told him he couldn't wear his favorite blue sequin dress.
