Missouri ‘Phobes Use “Education” As Excuse to Freak Over Boy Queen

Parents Upset Over Male Homecoming Queen
It was supposed to be fun and a life lesson learned but some parents and taxpayers in University City still are not laughing and remain frustrated over the school board allowing a young man to wear the homecoming queen crown.
. . .
“A king should be a king and a queen should be a queen,” says University City resident Richard Dockett.

The criticism was pointed directly at the board who thought this would be a lesson in diversity and the power of the vote, but some citizens saw it differently. “It appears to me that we put more emphasis on gay rights than on we do on educating our children,” said former board member Walter Daniels.
Zaggy’s run wasn’t about sexual orientation, he says it was all about fun which is mother re-iterated as she criticized the community for being what she sees as closed-minded. “As a parent this is the first time that I have been truly disappointed,” said Mariann Zaggy, “not in our school board not in our school district or our administration or our students, but I am truly ashamed in the self-righteous citizens and parents in our district who think the election of a boy as a homecoming queen is somewhat deviant.”
We’d be ashamed too, Ms. Zaggy. All we are right now is really glad we don’t live in Bigotsville, Missouri.
