Where Is Our World Going?
The College of William and Mary held their homecoming this weekend. Guess who was the homecoming queen? A self-described “gender-queer” individual by the name of Jessee Vasold.
At the risk of offending almost everyone, I can only ask, “What is the world coming to?”.
From the Daily Press’s article I am assuming that Mr.? (or is it Ms.?) Vasold is a transsexual. Fair enough. I’m not opposed to a transsexual running for homecoming queen any more than I was offended by a caucasian woman recently being elected homecoming queen at Hampton University. My problem is that Billy Mary’s new homecoming queen didn’t have to share with the world that he/she is “transgendered”. (Seriously, I am not trying to offend transsexuals here, I am just not sure from the article whether this individual is a transsexual or simply a transvestite).
I remember as a child when race was used to make a political statement at such events; perhaps I’m just a little too old fashioned not to be more sympathetic with this type of “statement”. However, it has been my experience that people tend to be a tad more tolerant when this type thing isn’t just pushed into our collective faces.
