A nonbinary senior in a conservative California school district walked away from homecoming with the queen’s crown this month.
It wasn’t the first time Trevor Meyer, a senior at Clovis East High School in Clovis, California, had vied for a spot on the homecoming court. Meyer, who has been public about his gender nonconformity for about two years, ran for homecoming prince in his freshman, sophomore and junior years, but didn’t win.
“Leading up to the announcement, my heart was racing, and I was on a roller coaster of emotions,” Meyer told NBC News. “I just think it’s important for everyone to step up and be themselves.” “The crowd was chanting his name so loudly, everything was buzzing,” Meyer’s sister, Shelbey Weidemann, told NBC News. “Of course I had nervous doubts if he didn’t win, but from the minute they announced him, you couldn’t even hear anything other than the crowd’s cheers.”
