Lesbian Becomes College Homecoming King

FREDERICK, Md. - Hood College is reviewing its homecoming rules after a lesbian was crowned king, a college official says.

But Jennifer Jones, the 21-year-old senior who beat out three men for the honor, says her victory last month was a plus for the private liberal-arts college.

"It is cool that Hood allows people to be themselves," Jones, of Newark, Del., told The Frederick News-Post. "If people didn't want me to be king, they wouldn't have nominated me and voted for me."

Waves of discontent are still rippling through the 2,100-student campus in western Maryland more than two weeks after Jones was crowned at the Feb. 18 homecoming dance, the News-Post reported Monday.

"She is not a man," said Singleton Newman, a 22-year-old senior who was among the queen candidates. "It is a gender issue, and she is a woman."

Santo Provenzano, 21, who competed for king, said Jones' selection made the event seem like a joke. "It discourages guys from wanting to take part in the future," he said.

5. Yep. A sign that the student body took *neither*...

...Jones *nor* Provenzano seriously enough to vote as expected.

If this were a teen movie, Provenzano and the "popular" kids would be stalking away, glaring, while covered in punch.

4. It's not a gender issue...

Dear Miss Newman,

Gender is how you express yourself. Sex is male/female. Fucking get it right.
