    :| I think he should have run for prom King, he took a spot away from a girl and if people really supported him and gays he would have still won king.

    Basically whats going to happen now is theres going to be some gigantic debate about how "prom queen and king" should be gotten rid of because of whatever. But I probably agree with you Jarrett.

    Haha I would've loved to see him dancing with the King! :grin:
     
  5. Aw that's cute. And he didn't "take" anything away from a girl. These things are usually voted on.

    This just reminded me that last year (or it might have been the year before, I can't remember), our homecoming king was gay. :icon_bigg

    It doesn't make sense that he should be prom queen if he doesn't want to be a girl ('assume a feminine identity'). I'm not fond of the king/queen stuff (luckily they don't do this in my country), but if this division represents the traditional binary conception of gender identity (masculine/feminine), I don't understand why this guy should be a queen. It seems to me that the only reason he was voted for this was the fact that he's gay and this doesn't strike me much as acceptance but rather as a misconception of what being homosexual means.

    He was probably voted in as a joke. It's more malicious than supportive. I was almost voted Homecoming King, and I didn't even plan on going.

    Ooh, I was voted onto the homecoming court, it was fun! I wasn't out then, though.

    So he's Queen? Who's King?

    I hope it's a joke. He should've run for king, not queen... That's really stupid. Being gay doesn't make you a woman.

    Unless he's a transgender, but that is not what the article says.

    Good for him :slight_smile: Gender roles piss me off. There was no prom king/queen at my old high school, though had there been i would have preferred being prom king :grin:

    I totally think it should be fine for him to run as Prom Queen.

    I would have done that in a HEART beat if i was in his situation. Why? Because i dont feel like i would fit the role of "Prom King" if i was asked out of the two what i would be. Im no woman, but i feel more feminine than masculine. All my friends treat me like a feminine guy now, and i LIKE THAT! I WANT that :slight_smile: I dont feel very manly inside, and im at peace with that. I wish i could explain what im trying to get at better, but its almost this unspoken thing between me and my friends, they just get me now. Im invited to the girls nights, the guys treat me with chivalry like they would the girls, ect. ect. BUT! its not done in a "mocking" or "joking" way. Its just understood thats the way it is with me.

    Now back on track, i think that ^ is what this guy is coming from more. He does not feel he identifies as a "king". Now i dont think that automatically means he should run for "queen" or anything, but i dont think its a BAD thing if he does. Maybe he feels more like a queen, and should be able to run if he does. Im all for breaking gender boundaries. If we can have females in normally male roles why not this too? :slight_smile: I dont think he was voted queen as a joke either. From what i read it seems like it was a serious thing.

    Mmmm, I couldn't really care less about which gender gets what role, tbh. With the amount of real problems going on, I find it difficult to get up in arms about prom titles that people seem to have taken in stride.

    Tis all in good fun. Not our duty to criticise them for that.
