Breaking with the tradition at many of the nation’s schools,
students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School will adopt a gender-
neutral homecoming court this year, moving away from the
longtime practice of electing a boy as “king” and a girl as
“queen.”
Students in each grade will vote for two classmates from a
ballot of finalists, with the top vote-getters crowned at the
school’s homecoming football game. It’s a change that means
those honored at halftime on Oct. 7 could include two boys, two
girls, transgender students or a boy-girl duo.
“It provides an opportunity for all students to be involved in
something that was exclusionary,” said Jacob Rains, president of
the schoolwide Student Government Association. “It is really not
our job, especially with a gender-neutral and transgender
population at B-CC, to tell people that boys have to be kings
and girls have to be queens. Who are we to put people into those
categories?”
Obviously these people didn't learn a thing in school during
biology class.
