A high school student in Columbia, Missouri has just made history by becoming the first-ever male student to win the title of homecoming queen in his state.CBS affiliate KMTV reports that Zachary Willmore, a senior at Rock Bridge High School, won the distinction, in part, because he choose to run for queen rather than king.
Early in October, he posted a poll to his Instagram page asking followers to vote as to whether he should seek the title of king or queen.“I took a really quick Instagram poll,” Willmore told KOMU 8 News. “They thought queen would look prettier on the sash.
I was like, ‘You’re so correct.’ So I chose queen.”Related: Meet the South Dakota swimmer who pushed back against homophobia to become Homecoming KingThis isn’t the.
