I could have been Prom King!

If I were five years younger and went to Fresno High School.  But, I’m 23 and I don’t go to Fresno High School, so someone else is taking what could have been mine!  Just kidding.  In all seriousness though, this is pretty neat-o.

Administrators agreed to reverse a district protocol this week that limited males to compete for the title after Covarrubias was nominated by her classmates.

It’s really cool to see some progress being made.  It might only be Prom King, but at least it’s something.  I think this says a lot about how far we’ve already come, struggling to be considered “normal” and all.  There’s still a long way to go though, but a step in the right direction never hurt.

    I would say that I could have been Homecoming Queen, but that’s pushing it a wee bit too far. :P

    Was I the only one who read this as “I could have been porn king, not pron king mind you, porn king. *sigh* It’s too late.

    But seriously, that’s great! I love it when people lift ridiculous rules, especially in a high school, the grand masters of ridiculous, unecessary rules.

    I could have been a porn king too. Hugh and Larry, watch out! I’m coming after your jobs!

    Yea, it’s always great to see people look past stupid rules, and see how stupid they are, for the sake of progress. Even if not everyone will agree that it’s the right thing to do.
