The University of Minnesota has become the latest university to do away with the traditional Homecoming King and Queen titles and replace them with the gender-neutral “Royals” term.
Taking it one step further, University of Minnesota officials also point out that the winners don’t even have to be one biological male and one biological female, stating on its website: “‘Royals’ … can be any combination of any gender identity.”
Campus officials called the change a move “toward gender inclusivity” that promotes “a spirit of inclusion at the University of Minnesota.”
“This change allows the University to select the best student representatives for the U of M based on campus and community involvement — regardless of gender,” the website states.
Indeed, the entire Homecoming Court at U-Minn. will follow the same concept.
“As in past years, the U will name 10 students to Homecoming court, only this year the mix won’t necessarily be five men and five women. Those 10 will be paired at random to compete in pre-Homecoming events, and their performance, along with a university-wide vote, will determine the two royals,” the Pioneer Press reports.
Allyson Taubenheim, the marketing manager for the university’s Student Unions & Activities, told The College Fix via email that moving forward for the October 2017 festivities, “King and Queen will not be titles — U of M students will be crowned as ‘Royals.’”
“There was not a specific incident that caused [Student Unions & Activities] to make the switch,” Taubenheim stated.
“We are excited about this change,” she added. “Our student body is made up of very diverse population that shouldn’t be limited by gender identity. Other colleges, universities and even high schools have made similar changes. We look forward to crowning two students who respectfully represent the university’s values, connect with the diverse members of the university community, and have excellent school pride.”
The University of Minnesota is among several colleges that have removed their homecoming titles of King and Queen. For example, in recent years, Appalachian State University and San Diego State University also switched the King and Queen titles out for the “Royals” terminology.

The U of M administration is certainly genderless.
“Royals” sounds very elitist...
We’ve become a nation of sheep. That’s all this amounts to.
I was up for Homecoming King in high school.
I would have won except I didn’t do a good job of answering the big question.
They wanted to know what I would do as Homecoming King.
I told them that I would show the Homecoming Queen my royal scepter.
Not the answer they were looking for, I guess.
The U of M administration is certainly genderless.
So, parents... Who among you can’t wait to spend six figures worth of your hard-earned income to send your skulls full of mush to these fine institutions of higher learning? :-D
Bookmark under more insanity.
Those 10 will be paired at random
= = =
How many of these pairs could actually procreate?
This is a perfect example of “Evolution” not working. Supposed to be survival of the fittest, not an intentional attempt to end your species.
Some days I think we’re winning. Other days it seems Satan is winning.
Royals???? Are they elitists?
How about they just give everyone a participation trophy
I always thought Charles deserved a little respect for picking Camilla. He did the ‘royal’ thing picking Diana, when Camilla was his true love, and after her death he could have had many women to choose from, but chose the one he loved.
I WISH I could find (another) relationship like that.
Can’t wait for the confusion when hardware and plumbing will no longer be referenced to as having male or female threads.
= = =
Or when the plumber tapes two male fittings together and says, “By law, this is considered the only proper union.”
Will this edict finally get rid of tranny drag queens ?
ru paul will be crushed.
And we are doing all.of this to make “LGBT” peoples happy.
If you thought they would be happy now that we have homosexual marriage, guess again. They are still pushing their agenda, they have simply moved the goal posts. Now that we have homosexual marriage it simply sets the stage for more and more bizarro world things to happen and be forced on us.
IOW, the students are going to vote for the biggest freaks and attention whores they can find on campus.
ru paul is happy...
Chas Bono and ru paul have been selected as the “Royals” in Follywood....
They will never be happy....
It’s amaing that the people of America have allowed 1-3% of the population to dictate things...
What are they going to do if we just ignore their BS???
Flail us with their hankies?????
“Royal pain in the butt” replaces “King”, and Royal Carpet Cleaner” replaces “Queen”
