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.

1. Here's a little something for Mr. Provenzano

IT IS A JOKE, YOU ASS. Otherwise, the students would have voted, well, otherwise.....

and who the hell would name their kid Singleton?


Jeepers, why don't y'all just go on back to High School......

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.
