Transgender student elected king

PASADENA - For Andrew Gomez, the month of November was one of firsts.

First, he broke the news to his mother that he was transitioning from a female to a male. Then the 24-year-old transgender student was elected Homecoming King at Pasadena City College.

Neither event came easily, but the second milestone nearly did not happen. PCC's homecoming committee initially ruled Gomez ineligible because of his pierced ear.

But after students complained, lodging charges of discrimination, the committee relented and reversed its decision. Gomez said his election earlier this month as Homecoming King surprised him, even though he initially ran hoping to become a source of inspiration for other gay, lesbian and transgender students.

@zzfastfashionzz Sorry, if I offended you. I was using my phone and thought I was replying to 'brecrady777's comment "if she had long hair she would be pretty" becuase I noticed that comment and also noticed the other and got the usernames mixed up. I know it sounds cliched, but someone from the LGBT community (myself) wouldnt (or shouldnt) offend or say something like that to another LGBT person. Sorry if I did, hope you forgive me :(
