Transgender Student Fights to Be Homecoming King
A western Pennsylvania school board is reviewing a request by a transgender male student who wants to appear on the ballot for homecoming king.
Kasey Caron, a senior at Richland High School in Johnstown, Pa., was denied a spot on the ballot after a driver's license listed his gender as female. Caron, who identifies as male and intends to undergo gender reassignment surgery, says the gender listing on his license has since been updated.

School board Solicitor Timothy Leventry argued that the state's legal standard is higher and that there's no doubt that Caron is legally female.
"The law defines whether a person is male or female," Leventry said. "If you want to change legally to be a male in Pennsylvania, you have to have been certified by a physician who is qualified, and you have to have your birth certificate changed."
