Erie-Area Students Stand Up for Trans Homecoming Queen After Online Backlash
Students at a high school near Erie, Pennsylvania, are standing firmly behind their homecoming queen after her election sparked a wave of anti-transgender backlash online. Sammi, a transgender student at Fairview High School, was crowned homecoming queen during the school's September 26 homecoming celebration after receiving the most votes from her fellow upperclassmen. But what should have been a joyful high school milestone quickly became the target of hateful social media posts from adults upset that a transgender girl had won the crown.
