Lesbian named Homecoming King
 

Wow. Just wow. Once again I'm typing and erasing because I can't get my thoughts together on this one.

Yeah, I really didn't know what to think either.

Homecoming is new to Hood, it seems, only in its second year I think.

Only 160-some people voted, so it's not like the entire college really voted on it.

One part of me agrees with the guy who said it was a gender issue...but a bigger part of me says that it's their school, and if that's what the students want, then more power to them.

A girl from my high school went to Hood. She also married the teacher she was fooling around with her senior year of HS (after breaking up his 3 kid marriage) and they are still married to this day. And that's what I think of when I think of Hood College. The End.

Yay. Story time. Tell us another!

I certainly agree with the guy that says its a gender thing. If she wanted to run, there was an option there.

But its their campus....

A tiny liberal arts school did this? Who knew tiny liberal arts schools were this retarded?

Santo Provenzano, 21, who competed for king, said Jones' selection made the event seem like a joke. "It discourages guys from wanting to take part in the future," he said.

Hey dude, if you think wussy boys are too skeered to run against a woman, or that homecoming king is really serious business, you have bigger problems than this. I say good for her and the school.

I say good for her. Why do people get so bent out of shape over a stupid thing like this? Just deal with it.:rolleyes:

I do kind of agree with the guy who said it will discourage guys from participating... i dont think its fear of losing to a woman but the fun of competing with other guys for the bragging rights wont be there if you allow things like that to happen. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with a female king other than the fact that KINGS ARE MALE... why not have just two queens if the majority of the votes went to her??


its not a super big deal but with anything competitive you want it to be taken seriously... thats like having a female team in the male brackets of march madness... if they win great but then the hunger to get back to the tournament for the males will be gone because now its just a big joke...

It's making a joke out of the entire process.

That just might have been the point.

Well the lesbian can run for Lesbian Stud or Queer Queen or whatever it is. Sometimes the administration needs to just tell students to shutup. It's just like the freaks who want non-gender bathrooms because they can't identify with one gender. If you have a penis or a vagina, you damn well know how the dice were rolled in your game.

I think i'd maybe be more supportive of the idea if she was a pre op transexual or something, like if she really, truly identified herself as a male. But being a lesbian doesn't automatically do that.

Exactly! What does her being a lesbian have to do with running for Homecoming King? Couldn't she have made a point in running for Homecoming Queen? I don't get it.

You can be stupid and a lesbian also. It's not specific to sexual orientation.

Preach it preach'a



CCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUURRRRRRCCCCHHHH!

LOL. Pretty much.

Uhhh, it's an effing Homecoming competition. Seriously, does anyone take that stuff THIS seriously?

Why wouldnt it be serious? Thats like saying ping pong isnt that serious for people to have it aired on tv... but to those ping pong champions it is.... just because YOU dont find it serious and YOU wouldnt care doesnt mean YOU need to downgrade something someone else might find to be of the UTMOST importance.

Maybe she did it to point how how absolutely gay homecoming is. Homecoming is so freakin' High School. I'm quite glad my alma mater doesn't do that kind of crap.

I go back for Homecoming about every year, but we haven't had Homecoming "Royalty" in years.

It's just a lot of fun to see old friends.

My coworkers and I were laughing about this today. All we could do was laugh.....never could really get our thoughts out.

Do you find it to be of the utmost importance?

I like the way you said skeered. I have nothing to this thread.

I didnt because i feel i wouldnt have lost to a lesbian or a woman in general. I do however take whatever type of competition i'm in serious. I would have felt the same way i do now about the situation had i been there, all i'm saying is it isnt right for people to downgrade the seriousness of a situation just because they have no interest... if u didnt care that much you shouldnt have posted...

as a straight female, I would have hated to been nominated as Queen, only to know that my "King" is a lesbian. I'm not against Gays and Lesbians, but give me a break. If the lesbian wanted to run, she should have ran for Queen. Wrong plumbing to be a King.

But it seems more like a lack of manners than anything.

She was making a point and
I am sure a lot of people voted for her just for fun.

But its not an important point and it violates a lot of social niceities.

I totally agree. Just run for Queen.
