Missouri high school faces criticism after crowning second transgender homecoming queen

[VySky]

The young people are showing us what America will look like in the coming decades.

Glad I won't be around to see most of it.

The HS has a history of voting for a boy to be Homecoming Queen.

Comments on various social media platforms as the article reports, show 'support' and others who do not support are labeled "Transphobic" which is a complete lie and meant to stir division.

Can't fight City Hall

-================================

A Missouri teenager was ecstatic to learn she had been crowned her school’s homecoming queen and celebrated by posting photos of herself accepting the honor in a sparkling gown. Her school district posted photos of the occasion, too, which were met with intense backlash after it became known that the teen is transgender.

Tristan Young, a 17-year-old senior at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, joined the ranks of the school’s homecoming royalty Friday. Young, a transgender girl, follows in the footsteps of Landon Patterson, a former student, who is also trans and held the title eight years ago.


“Being nominated and then becoming queen is so much deeper than just surface level,” Young wrote on Instagram after her victory. “I have had a very difficult high school journey, but having the support of my friends, family and Oak Park has helped tremendously, I truly don’t know where I would be without it.”

Maybe they are voting on the content of the character of the person? I seem to have heard that somewhere else, the content of a person's character, sounds good to me. When people show you who they are believe them. Ya' know what I mean mr. sky?

I guess conservatives want to take democracy out of homecoming queen elections too.

Frankly, I'd be surprised if they didn't face criticism. I admire their courage.

You don't know what the content of one's character means?

Proof that people will bitch and moan about anything.

It's voted on by the students, so any of your attempts to criticize the high school and its staff is rejected. You really pick the absolute dumbest and most irrelevant stuff to get mad about. What, you wanted the position?

Did you figure that out all by yourself? Very impressive

Who criticized staff? Did you even review the thread?

I agree. But I haven't been mad since I stepped on some gum a few weeks ago. However, It is 'dumb' to elect a boy as Homecoming Queen. Twice even.

Can't wait to see what they think a 'King' is.

What does this line mean? It certainly isn't referencing the HS students.

Maybe if you cry harder about it on internet forums it'll get reversed?

It's an American thing. Use google or your favorite search engine to learn more about Idioms.

It's a dumb idiom in this context. The students are not in any position of authority.

Do you have a 'spilled milk' response to most things you disagree with? Reads like it.

Conservatives hate democracy.

You have to admire it. At worst this is an epic way to troll the Boomers and school administration. Salute!
