The Christian Post website reports today (November 3, 2011) that a lesbian couple that attends a San Diego, California high school stirred up controversy over the weekend when they became the school's homecoming king and queen.
Although it was the student body's vote that decided who received the honors, not all of the students are happy with the result and school officials say they have since been overwhelmed with "hate" messages from angry adults.
"I am disappointed that this happy and positive event has received national media coverage, which has attracted a slew of what I can only describe as hate calls and emails to the school," said Bill Kowba, superintendent of the San Diego Unified School District.
Last Friday -- during a pep rally -- female student Rebeca Arellano was named Patrick Henry's homecoming king and the next day, her partner, Haileigh Adams, was announced as queen during a school dance.
