A lesbian couple who was elected homecoming king and queen of their San Diego high school are now being met with hate mail from outraged people across the country. Homecoming king Rebeca Arellano and her girlfriend, homecoming queen Haileigh Adams, were crowned at Patrick Henry High School on Friday. Arellano described the night as being "one of the most amazing experiences" she's ever had, and both students reported support from their classmates and teachers. However, the school has received phone calls and angry letters about the girls' achievement.
In an attempt to be more inclusive of its entire student body, administrators of a Michigan high school have decided to drop "king" and "queen" from its homecoming royalty titles, instead opting for gender neutral titles.

Live Out Loud has set out to inspire and empower LGBT youth by connecting them with successful LGBT adults in their community through an initiative called the Homecoming Project. The concept behind this project is simple -- successful LGBT professionals head back to their own high school to tell their success stories to current students. One of the most notable past participants of the Homecoming Project includes Dustin Lance Black, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter for Milk and screenwriter of the upcoming Leonardo DiCaprio starrer J. Edgar. Live Out Loud produced a short film that aired on PBS in February of 2011, which documented Black’s experience.
