University of Kentucky is
reviewing its homecoming rules after a gay former student was crowned Queen, a
college official says.
But Addison Mitchell
McConnell, Jr., known as “Mitch” Mc Connell the 75-year-old Republican Senate
Majority Leader who beat out quite a few men for the honor, says his victory
last month was a plus for the University.
"It is cool that
Louisville in particular allows people to be themselves, I had to finish my
grads education since I only had a GED." McConnell a flamboyant homosexual
and cross-dresser of South Louisville, KY told The Courier-Journal. "If
people didn't want me to be Queen, they wouldn't have nominated me and voted
for me in the first place."
Waves of discontent are
still rippling through the 2,100-student campus in Kentucky more than two weeks
after McConnell was crowned at the Feb. 14 homecoming dance, the Frankfort
State Journal reported Monday according in a state poll.
"He’s not a man and
I don’t know what he is," said Ed Gillespie, presidential advisor to
former President Bush and Romney senior advisor, a 57-year-old grad who was
among the queen candidates.
"It is a gender
issue, and he thinks is a woman and I know I am."
Rand Paul, as well as
many other out-of-stater’s like Paul Broun, GA; Louie Gohmert, TX; Jim Inhofe,
OK; Steve King, KS; and even Jon A. Husted, OH; who also competed for Queen,
said McConnell’s' selection made the event seem like a joke. "It
discourages gays, like myself from wanting to take part in the future," he
said.
Jim Bunning, Louisville's
student activities director, said all homecoming events would be reviewed and
possibly changed. "We will look at what students want Louisville's
homecoming to be," he said.
