Gender neutral Homecoming Court

I suppose we should of seen this coming.
Madison high school to name gender-neutral homecoming court
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A Madison high school is switching to a
gender-neutral homecoming court in an effort to make transgender
and gender nonconforming students feel more comfortable.
Madison West High School Principal Beth Thompson tells the
Wisconsin State Journal that the homecoming court announced on
Oct. 16 will consist of the top 20 vote-getters in the senior
class. In the past, 10 male and 10 female students were named to
the school's homecoming court.
The two top vote-getters won't be called "king" or "queen"
unless they choose those titles.
Students approached Thompson last spring with a petition calling
for the change to "create a safer and more inclusive environment
for students."
Madison West is the largest of the district's four high schools
with about 2,065 students

I guess the term "queen" was a little offensive to some. :D :D

Was at a wedding a few weeks ago the groom had a groomsmaiden in
the wedding party. Glad I am old. I know if I wanted a woman to
stand up in my wedding on my side my wife would not have been
there ( I would say the same if she tried to include a man on
her side. Thought it was awkward to say the least
