Best Gender Equality Quote from a High School Student...

It's not like the stereotype where the king has to be a jock and he's there with the cheerleaders anymore. We live in a generation now where dudes are chicks and chicks are dudes.
-Leanne Reyes, student, Fresno High School, on why she supports transgender classmate Cinthia Covarrubias for prom king.

In 2000, California amended its antidiscrimination law include protection for gender identity and expression. High school officials cited compliance with the law for their decision to let Covarrubias's nomination onto the ballot.
