Sweetwater Union High School is celebrating a milestone that's breaking social barriers.
Karl Cruz was crowned the first-ever transgender homecoming queen in the district at Friday's homecoming game. She was voted in by her classmates.
The 18-year-old says she was shocked but happy to know her classmates are accepting of who she is.
"Everyone started cheering for me. I didn't really expect that from anyone," Cruz said. "After the fireworks, I just started crying my eyes out."
Her principal says she was proud when Cruz was crowned queen because it shows the school creates a safe environment for all students, including LGBTQ students.
"I was extremely proud. I can't say I was surprised. Every single student should be accepted for who they are," Principal Maribel Gavin said. "They're all wonderful human beings that are here to learn."
Cruz is not only homecoming queen but she's also on the principal's honor roll and is involved in several school clubs.
why is this news?
OH please next time give the “BARF ALERT” before posting a nasty picture
"...high school crowns its first male Homecoming Queen for this year..."
There’s a reason locals call National City, Nasty City.
99% of students were supportive and understanding of it, he, she... /propaganda
National City that figures. Should be Polluted Water School District. Or Illegalsville.
Well said sir, well said...
Transgender people make up a fraction of the population and somehow make the news all of the time.
Idiot, maggot writer...she is a he! I don’t give a rats what it calls itself.
They’ve crowned queen someone who defines himself as a queen. He cheated. He didn’t get crowed queen. He already was one. How could he lose? Now give the students of Sweetwater High the chance to vote a guy king and a girl queen, as has been the tradition of U.S. high schools until Marxism took hold.

Shouldn’t it have been stated queer instead of queen?
Sooner or later, this will come to Sweet Valley High.
The wrong kind of girl indeed.
Did the king get expelled for refusing to kiss him?
40%+_ chance of suicide fro trannies.
The parents must be so proud of themselves for what is, essentially, a death sentence.
If they were to send a child to play in the freeway the mortality rate would be lower.
Has the world gone mad?
The Barf Alert should be implicit in the title — it is to me.
I was trying to think of a snarky way to say the same thing. You did it succinctly, and without being snarky.
