George Mason University made a bit of news this week when it elected a new homecoming queen.
His name is Ryan Allen, also known as Reann Ballslee.
Some people might call this a drag, some may call it “the power of diversity”. The fact is probably closer to a prank than anything else. It doesn’t really matter all that much, because the real win is this. A transgendered person is able to live openly on the college campus and run for a very public event.
I’m not saying we are perfect as a society, but this is at least a step in the right direction.
My husband and I read the story in the Washington Post and were cheered by it. It is DEFINITELY a step in the right direction. I’m sure Rush Limbaugh hates it.
