Gay friends named prom king/queen!

[kiakia0131]

History (well local history) was made at a high school near me. Two gay friends were named prom king and queen! It was the first time in the schools history that a guy was made prom queen! I thought that was really cool and I felt like sharing with all my friends on Y-H. They made a Facebook page too. And most of the comments on the page are positive. I hope my old high school has something like that happen in the future. Their teachers inspired them to run for king/queen! it makes me happy to know that teachers in that school are accepting of LGBTQ students.

i think its a good thing and im happy people are accepting, but i wonder..... were ther others that fond this offending and stereotypical for a gay to be named "queen"

Awh, that's awesome. My old school would never do anything like that. It's good to know that some people don't have anything against gay people.

Sadly, this would only happen at my school as a huge joke. I live in an area that would rather drink poison than let two gay men walk down the street hand-in-hand. My school is a combination of this and sports. My school is very sports-oriented...

It's sad but it's the truth...you must live Northeast or something...

Yeah, I live in New York (small town not the city). I'm surprised though because that school is known for its bad reputation, with a million fights and stuff. I don't see it happening at my old high school any time soon because in my experience it was not very LGBTQ friendly... we had a kid of transfer schools because he was gay and people harassed him...the poor kid later committed suicide...

SO CUTE~

Haha, where do you live? I live in the City. :o

We're lucky, NYC is more tolerant of the LGBT community. I wanna see this. I don't know if we even have Prom King/Queen here, though. D8
If they do, I hope they have a gay couple as King and Queen~ My school better. D8<
Why else would they let two guys cross-dress in the school play? 8(

I live like 2 hours north of the city in the town of Copake...a town where it's cool to go to parties in corn fields... My friend and I want to go to NYC for pride but we have no money to do so

Another article was in the local newspaper and the guys are making the news all over! I'm like really happy for them. They deserve the recognition. And the city (a small city) where they are from, is having its first ever gay pride parade! The guys who were crowned are going to be in it! My friend and I are going to try to go to that. But we might not get to go since it falls on Fathers Day.
