A trans high school student in Michigan was denied his crown as homecoming king, even though he had legitimately won the crown. Oakleigh Reed (known as Oak), was told by his school principal that all votes for him had to be invalidated since he registered in school as a female. This is despite the fact that school staff and students all refer to Oak as "he". The school seemed to be comfortable with his status as a transgendered male. Sadly, it appears that things are different when it comes to the race for homecoming king and queen. The runner up was given the crown.
