Lincoln Ripley is a transgender student at Klein Oak HS in Houston, Texas. He recently expressed interest in representing his Gender and Sexuality Alliance Club in the school's annual Mr. Debonair fundraiser pageant. However, the administrative staff denied him the option of participating, using the excuse 'not wanting to invite tension to a fun event'. We believe this is a weak cover-up for obvious transphobia. If enough support is gathered, we believe the administration will change their mind and allow him to participate.
