(California) Sweetwater High crowns its first-ever transgender queen
10 News ^ | 9/18/18 | Laura Acevedo

Sweetwater Union High School is celebrating a milestone that's breaking social barriers.

Karl Cruz was crowned the first-ever transgender homecoming queen in the district at Friday's homecoming game. She was voted in by her classmates.

The 18-year-old says she was shocked but happy to know her classmates are accepting of who she is.

"Everyone started cheering for me. I didn't really expect that from anyone," Cruz said. "After the fireworks, I just started crying my eyes out."

Her principal says she was proud when Cruz was crowned queen because it shows the school creates a safe environment for all students, including LGBTQ students.

"I was extremely proud. I can't say I was surprised. Every single student should be accepted for who they are," Principal Maribel Gavin said. "They're all wonderful human beings that are here to learn."

Cruz is not only homecoming queen but she's also on the principal's honor roll and is involved in several school clubs.

It could be worse. Many years ago my college voted this odd individual 'Homecoming Person'. I think the vote was rigged.

Braking social barriers?
So is boinking a goat.
And that’s the best they could do?
Pretty much labels this school, eh?

Another example of transgenderism trumping feminism.
Any girl who objected would have been bullied by liberals.

So the young people are actually buying into this nonsense? Hard to believe.

He is the HOMECOMING QUEER? How lovely...another reason to homeschool... Is the HOMECOMING King a FTM female? If the HOMECOMING King is a guy who has traditional values (In California, I doubt it) will be be labeled as homophobic if he doesn’t dance with him?

"...Homecoming Queen Man..."


What would have infuriated this male Homecoming Queen is if another contestant challenged with one more qualifier to maybe win.
What a nailbiter if a Muslim Male Homecoming Queen was in a runoff with a Homeless Male Homecoming Queen. How riveting.
The close voting would need many recounts!

I saw that title and was glad that it as Sweetwater CA.

I had lunch at Hard Eight BBQ this week in Sweetwater TX.

Unless Texas is really changing, I don't think our Sweetwater has turned into a snowflake capital.

I guess its parent (I’m guessing it lives with its mother who is unmarried, or lives in a lesbian house.) is giving it hormones blocking drugs...

They’re never happier than when they are the absolute center of attention.

Anyone want to speculate where this “thing” will be at in life in, say, 5 years time?

Gainfully employed, law-abiding, productive member of society?

Someone who makes the world a better place?

Has a positive influence on the members of their community?

...?
