Transgender student Cassidy Lynn
Campbell made history Friday (20 September) when she was crowned homecoming
queen of Marina High School in Huntington Beach, California.
Campbell, 16, is believed to be the
first transgender student in US history to win such a title at a public high
school.
Campbell said running for homecoming
queen was initially all about her but that changed as she began to see the
bigger picture.
'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 told KTLA.
Campbell wants to now become an LGBT
activist and has this message for other transgender teens: 'Just to be true to
themselves and to let people know around them and to not keep it bottled up
inside.'
This is so inspiring! It is a true sign of how much our culture's view of homosexuality has changed. Progress much?
