Gay Teen Voted Prom Queen at L.A. High School


"I will be wearing a suit," he said. "But don't be fooled, deep down I am a queen."

LA News

An openly-gay, teenage boy was just voted "Prom Queen" at Los Angeles' Fairfax High School in a campaign that began as a stunt -- but ended up spurring discussion on the campus about gender roles and teen popularity.

Sergio Garcia, 18, was crowned queen Saturday night at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

"I feel invincible," Garcia said in his tiara and charcoal-gray tuxedo.

A few days earlier, he gave a speech that won over some cynics and led to an ovation and his unlikely victory.

"At one time, prom may have been a big popularity contest where the best-looking guy or girl were crowned king and queen," Garcia told a gymnasium full of seniors. "Things have changed and it's no longer just about who has the most friends or who wears the coolest clothes. I'm not your typical prom queen candidate. There's more to me than meets the eye."
