Homecoming King sans Penis


Last night on the way home I heard about a girl who has won Homecoming King at a Maryland college because she's gay. Jen Jones, 21, is the girl who's more like a boy. She says she didn't even know she was nominated until she saw the ballot, but she did beat seven male nominees for the title. Besides the fact that she's a girl, they say she meets all other requirements because she's very active on campus in sports and student government.. ANYWAY, they took callers on the radio last night. One chick called in and said that she recently became a lesbian (by the way, I think the Maryland-DC area is the mecca for gay black women. Similar to ATL for black men.). She said that she was just waiting to be turned out and it happened recently (congrats), but her point was that some lesbians are more like men then women. She said that her girlfriend wears boxers and makes her call her "daddy" and that's great in her opinion. It sounds like in her mind, her girlfriend gives her that man vibe just without the best part (which she says they can get). If you want a penis and you want a partner who wears boxers and makes you call them daddy, hmm, you sound like a lousy lesbian to me. I'm no expert, but...

I don't know what to think on this. I think if it were a more serious title like Miss America or something it'd be a bigger social issue. I just think it's interesting that she's actually boyish enough to win King and girly enough to go by Jen. She'd probably be neat to meet, obviously people like her. I think she should just enjoy the moment, cause in the end, after the game, no one gives a shit who was homecoming king or queen. Here's a link to an article about it: http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?storyid=47133.

i think she should be offended. it's not like she was trying to make a point. she didn't even know she was on the ballot. it would be accepting if the school voted a lesbian homecoming queen, and no one made a big deal of it. it's insulting to say she has to be homecoming king, because she's a gay woman.

it's like the rude ass question that people ask gay couples.... "so which oneis the man in the relationship?"

She did try to petition to be included in the contest the year before. They wouldn 't let her. This year the school didn't require a petition that's why she didn't know she was on the ballot. It probabaly just started as a joke or something..
