College elects transgender homecoming queen
The College of William and Mary has chosen transgender student Jessee Vasold as this year's homecoming queen. The selection of Vasold, the student assembly undersecretary of diversity initiatives for the college's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs, reportedly has generated little reaction on campus. "I don't see why it's not a good thing. Change is seldom bad," said law student John Krug.
