There will be seven young people in tuxedos standing on the stage at Fresno High School’s prom tonight, all hoping to be picked as Prom King. Six of them will be boys. One of them will be a girl that thinks she’s a boy.

The confused girl, Cinthia Covarrubias, who has close-cropped brown hair and usually wears tennis shoes and baggy shorts, and often refers to herself as Tony, is believed to be the first ‘transgender’ to run for prom royalty.

Covarrubias was allowed to add her name to the ballot after the school district’s lawyers recommended allowing her to run for king in order to comply with an (idiotic) state law (go figure, it’s California) protecting a student’s ability to express their gender identity on campus. Arnold, please tell me you were opposed to that law… please?

Student opinion seems to be divided on the decision.

Erich Logan, 18, says “I like lesbians, but they shouldn’t be allowed to run for king.”

According to Leanne Reyes, 16, “It’s not like the stereotype where the king has to be a jock and he’s there with the cheerleaders anymore. We live in a generation now where dudes are chicks and chicks are dudes.”

Apparently the chronological distance between the generation that believes men should be men and women should be women, and the generation that believes that women should be men and men should be women, is two years.

Carolyn Laub, director of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network says, “We are growing as a society to accept much more diversity in gender expression, and that’s a positive thing.”
