Following is information summarized from this Washington Post article:
Students at a Maryland high school have adopted a “gender-neutral” homecoming court, meaning it could potentially include two boys, two girls, transgender students, or a boy-girl duo. Students in each grade will vote for two classmates from a ballot of finalists with the top vote-getters crowned during the school’s homecoming football game, regardless of gender.
Jacob Rains, president of the schoolwide Student Government Association said, “It provides an opportunity for all students to be involved in something that was exclusionary… It is really not our job, especially with a gender-neutral and transgender population at B-CC, to tell people that boys have to be kings and girls have to be queens. Who are we to put people into those categories?”
