Patrick Henry High School (San Diego) just elected a lesbian couple as homecoming king and queen. The Wikipedia article suggests the school has had an independent frame of mind over the years. The queen part of the couple
noted:
'We have a lot of support, but there are also a lot of people who are angry about it.
'Anonymous Patrick Henry students are saying they're embarrassed and that it's wrong for a girl to take the spot of king.
'But there's no other way for us to run as a couple. It's not really fair for us not have the right to run as a couple.'
They did not originally plan to run but received encouragement from students and facility. The king part had this
to say on Facebook to some critics:
For all the girls who think tradition should be continued, go back to the kitchen, stop having sex before you're married, get out of school and job system, don't have an opinion, don't own any property, give up the right to marry who you love, don't vote, and allow your husband to do whatever he pleases to you. Think about the meaning of tradition when you use it in your argument against us.
Yes. A key to education is repetition and it has to be repeated over and over and over again that "tradition" is a poor single reed to rest on when defending something.
