A rather strange piece in The Daily Mail today;
'Glee becomes reality: Male prom queens are the real deal as three schools in the U.S. give the tiara to teenage boys'
It's strange for several reasons.
Not least as it's so not written in the Mail's house-style and is credited to 'Daily Mail Reporter'.
That's normally code for a lifted story.
There have been many stories about "this sort of thing" in the American media recently, but who wrote this?
The quotes are attributed to various local US media; WDBJ7 and The Sun Sentinel.
Odd.
But what the hey - it's a cute piece;
"Most young girls dream of the day they will be crowned prom queen.
"And it seems some young boys have the same dream and are not going to let the small matter of their sex get in the way of realising that dream.
"No sooner did Glee's gay teenager Kurt Hummel get crowned prom queen on a recent episode of the hit TV show, than similar events were happening in high schools across America.
"Blacksburg High School student Jake Boyer, from Virginia, has added being his year's prom queen to a list of accolades which already include senior class secretary, choir member and editor of his magazine..."
For once Fagburn praises the Daily Mail...
