Trans history was made last night in Huntington Beach, CA as Cassidy Lynn Campbell was elected by the student body of Marina High School as their homecoming queen.Earlier in the school day Cassidy was announced as one of the five finalists for the title to the cheers of her fellow students with the final announcement made at last night's homecoming football game.
"I'm so proud to win this not just for me but for everyone out there and for every kid -- transgender, gay, straight, black or Mexican. It doesn't matter, you can be yourself," she said after her win.
She becomes the first out trans feminine student ever in the United States to hold that distinction and I couldn't be happier for her. But if it weren't for a transphobic principal at North Dallas High School that historic distinction could have happened in Texas three years ago.
All hail Queen Cassidy and congratulations!
