Cassidy Lynn Campbell wins OC Homecoming Queen breaks down In tears



It was amazing enough for Cassidy when she learned she was among the top ten contenders for homecoming queen so when she won it, was almost to much.



The enormity of her victory is in sharp contrast to the struggles Pennsylvania trans students still have just getting their authentic gender identity recognized by their schools.

“And then I realized it wasn’t for me anymore and I was doing this for so many people all around the county and the state and possibly the world and I am so proud to win this not just for me, but everyone out there,” Campbell said.

The 16-year-old did face some negativity over her nomination from fellow students, but she and Principal Paul Morrow are proud of the way the majority voted.

“Were proud of the message from home of the Vikings has been one of equity, acceptance, tolerance and respect,” Principal Morrow said.

From Worcester to Leicester a Topless Transgender Woman is Causing Quite a Stir

Stacey Schnee's bike ride from Worcester to Leicester Massachusetts on busy route 9 caused rubber necking, U Turns and calls to the police.

Ms. Schnee is making a statement for topless quality saying that woman should be allowed to go topless just like men. Ms. Schnee wasn't arrested because her nipples were covered said the only thing that will stop her is the weather.


I can imagine a lot of men and women, maybe even the ones who called the police, are secretly hoping for a mild winter.
