Queen for a Night

Although St Louis, Missouri, high school senior Aaron Zaggy looks more like Flip Kelly than Billy Bloom, it seems James St James' young-adult book Freak Show, in which a gay high school boy runs for homecoming queen, may in fact be more of a how-to manual than a novel. When Zaggy campaigned to become homecoming queen at University City High School "just for fun," he actually won the crown on Friday, pissing off loser Brittany McNairy. "The queen should be a girl," she sniffed, "and king should be a dude." Marcel Coleman, the dude who won homecoming king, just shrugged. "It's no big deal," he said, but the thought of slow-dancing with Zaggy had him somewhat stressed. (StLtoday)
