Like most teenage girls, Andy Moreno wants to be homecoming queen. And her classmates want Andy to be homecoming queen, too; they are the ones who nominated her for the honor.

But Dinnah Escanilla, the principal at North Dallas High School where Andy is a senior, has said that can't happen.

Why? Because Andy Moreno is transgender.
