In September I posted about Oak Reed, a trans boy who ran for homecoming king but was disqualified because he would render the competition unfair (since the race for homecoming king is, first and foremost, about fairness). Now the school has decided to just get rid of the concept of prom queen and king:
The juniors and seniors will vote on a gender-neutral prom court this spring. The policy will stand for future homecoming events, as well. There will be two juniors and two seniors on the courts; the sex of the students won't be considered.
"I'm so glad that the rules have been changed," Reed said in a news release from the ACLU. "All I wanted was a chance for all students to participate and be heard. Now, my classmates and I can just focus on having a great time at our school dance."
That's interesting, but since most people are straight, won't that make them feel a bit uncomfortable knowing that they might get a pair with the same sex?
Considering the test scores of American high schools it's criminal that they are wasting a second on this crap, king and queen? Really? Because a bunch of crotchfruits want to play adult dress up before they go out and start asking people if they want fries with that? Criminal.
