High school strips transgender teen of homecoming king title

Yeah, who knew disregard of pronouns on this site was too touchy a subject to joke about. I refuse to turn this into a fight, but I want it clear that your excuses are not sufficient. The only positive I'm hoping is that you've gotten a big wake-up call and will alter your mindset and mouth filter in the future.

And with that, everybody is going back on topic or risks post deletion. Thanks to those that were supportive in any and all arenas.

I have added a link for a great follow up story to this in the local press.

MONA SHORES — A transgender student at the center of a homecoming king controversy praises Mona Shores schools in a letter posted online.

This story makes me very proud of him. He is very appreciative of the accommodations the school has made for him and asks that the momentum gained by the controversy move toward a push for rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and “away from the homecoming situation.”

Yeah, good for him. He's trying to make the best out of a bad situation for the most people possible. He also sounds like he's trying to keep in mind the positive things as opposed to the negative.
