Hood College is reviewing its homecoming rules after a lesbian was crowned king, a college official said. (I bet they are. - HC)How intolerant. I bet Ms. Newman ends up called before the student disciplinary committee for that remark.
Jennifer Jones, the 21-year-old senior who beat out three men for the honor, said the crowning was a positive step for the private liberal arts college.
"It is cool that Hood allows people to be themselves," Jones told The Frederick News-Post. "If people didn't want me to be king, they wouldn't have nominated me and voted for me."
Jones, of Newark, Del., received 64 of 169 votes cast for king last month.
More than two weeks after Jones was crowned, criticism and praise were still rippling through the 2,100-student campus in western Maryland.
"She is not a man," said Singleton Newman, a 22-year-old senior who was nominated for queen. "It is a gender issue, and she is a woman."
The real question is, did the "king" and queen have to dance together at the homecoming ball?
