Michigan high school to have gender-neutral prom court

Michigan Radio Newsroom — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 23:24:23 +0000

Students at Mona Shores High School in Muskegon will no longer vote for a prom king or queen.

Instead, they’ll vote for a gender-neutral prom court.

The change is the result of pressure from the ACLU of Michigan and Mona Shores students after a popular transgender student was elected homecoming king.

The school denied the student, Oak Reed, his crown because school records list him as a female.
