Marina High Principal Paul Marrow praised his students for Campbell’s victory, saying, “Were proud of the message from home of the Vikings has been one of equity, acceptance, tolerance and respect.”

Earlier on Friday it was reported that Cassidy had been chosen as a finalist in the competition .

Leading up to the selection, Cassidy had been insistent that she hoped her effort would raise awareness and support for other transgendered teens.

"If I win, it would mean that the school recognizes me as the gender I always felt I was," Cassidy said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times . "But with all the attention, I realized it's bigger than me," she said. "I'm doing this for the kids who can't be themselves."

Marina High administrators have also received positive attention for their response to Cassidy’s campaign.

"If Marina High School is to make high-profile news during its homecoming week this year," Morrow said in a statement published by the Times, "then we are proud that the message is one of equity and individual respect."

I've read this story in multiple places; sadly the dickheads are still out and about.

I find it hard to believe there's that many accepting people in a high school. If it's legit it's legit, but this would be an amazing way to get your high school free publicity.

Poor girl...she didn't get to transition before her voice changed

I was thinking the same thing when I thought of this other girl:



This girl in the Youtube video was actually Homecoming Princess though which is a JR in Highschool. So this other girl might be the first Homecoming "Queen" in the US. There's no comparison between the two though when you watch both videos.

She isn't the first trans to become homecoming queen, but either way congrats

Is she on hormones? I saw her Youtube videos. It doesn't appear that she is taking hormones.

She has only very recently made the move from drag to trans. Much like Diamond Kane, she's just at the start of her journey and I wish her the best of luck
