Queers Continue To Destroy Society For Normal People |
Gaydream believers scoop queen's crown
David Smith
Sunday November 28, 2004
The Observer
When the Monkees sang, 'Oh, what can it mean/ To a daydream believer/ And a
homecoming queen,' they were thinking of Sleepy Jean. But on today's
American campus, the homecoming queen is increasingly likely to be Sleepy
John.
The age-old American ritual of the student homecoming, in which a male is
crowned king and a female takes the queen's tiara, is in jeopardy because
of growing challenges by gay and lesbian students to bend the gender rules.
Homecoming kings and queens have traditionally attracted student votes for
their personality or academic achievements, but now the wearing of drag is
an electoral asset. According to the New York Times, however, the trend has
sparked America's latest culture clash, with high schools and universities
debating whether to scrap the convention altogether.
The argument reached a peak earlier this month after Everett Moran, a gay
student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, failed to win election as
queen, but was voted on to the homecoming court. There was uproar among
traditionalists when, at a red-blooded college American football match, the
21-year-old appeared at the sidelines in an empire-waisted black dress with
elbow-length red gloves, complete with the homecoming yellow sash.
Moran, 21, said: 'We always get Mr Heterosexual Vanderbilt and Ms
Heterosexual Vanderbilt to be the perfect king and queen.'
Last month students at St Cloud State University in Minnesota elected their
first male homecoming queen, 22-year-old Fue Khang, prompting a storm of
phone calls and emails from parents and former students.
Evan Mayor, editor of Vanderbilt's student newspaper, said: 'I guess the
politically correct thing to do is scrap it.'

Given the ridiculous definitions some of them use to consider someone black,
such as the "one drop of blood"
idea, some of them likely are black by their own standards, and just don't
know it. Certain such wankers can't be truly sure they aren't part Jewish.

These are universities, dimbulb.
And I notice that the theme here is again anti-democracy. The
*students* elected these people to their positions. It was there
choice to make, and now the fundies want to overturn the will of the
people.

When the Monkees sang, 'Oh, what can it mean/ To a daydream believer/
And a
homecoming queen,' they were thinking of Sleepy Jean. But on today's
American campus, the homecoming queen is increasingly likely to be
Sleepy
John.
The age-old American ritual of the student homecoming, in which a male
is
crowned king and a female takes the queen's tiara, is in jeopardy
because
of growing challenges by gay and lesbian students to bend the gender
rules.
Homecoming kings and queens have traditionally attracted student votes
for
their personality or academic achievements, but now the wearing of drag
is
an electoral asset. According to the New York Times, however, the trend
has
sparked America's latest culture clash, with high schools and
universities
debating whether to scrap the convention altogether.
The argument reached a peak earlier this month after Everett Moran, a
gay
student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, failed to win election as
queen, but was voted on to the homecoming court. There was uproar among
traditionalists when, at a red-blooded college American football match,
the
21-year-old appeared at the sidelines in an empire-waisted black dress
with
elbow-length red gloves, complete with the homecoming yellow sash.
Moran, 21, said: 'We always get Mr Heterosexual Vanderbilt and Ms
Heterosexual Vanderbilt to be the perfect king and queen.'
Last month students at St Cloud State University in Minnesota elected
their
first male homecoming queen, 22-year-old Fue Khang, prompting a storm of
phone calls and emails from parents and former students.
Evan Mayor, editor of Vanderbilt's student newspaper, said: 'I guess the
politically correct thing to do is scrap it.'

Gee. Destroying all the "fun" of a ritual that belittles and humiliates
anyone who isn't beautiful or popular.

The age-old American ritual of the student homecoming, in which a male is
crowned king and a female takes the queen's tiara, is...
....was a stupid ritual to begin with.
And for cryin' out loud, can you *try to hit ngs that have *something to

He's a bigoted homophobe, Mark. They have an uncontrollable urge to prance
their ignorance in front of the entire world.

Hey! Don't say "prance". You're showing your gay-ness. The
Christians will get you. After all they want to ban that "Sharks
tale" movie because the fish "swish" their tails too much (obviously
gay).

You are not far off about them wanting to ban "Shark Tale".
