Students at Kansas City, Missouri’s Oak Park High School selected Landon Patterson as their first transgender student Homecoming Queen nominee and it was announced on Saturday that she won the title!

Landon Patterson was crowned homecoming queen after becoming the first openly trans student at her high school.

“Just knowing that I did this, and that I just broke some barriers, I can’t even put it into words what I’m feeling right now”, Patterson said.

“When I came out as trans, I was so afraid that I was expecting a lot of hate, but surprisingly there wasn’t much at all”, she told BuzzFeed News.

Patterson said she spent most of her life identifying as a gay male but felt incomplete.

Patterson is believed to have fully transitioned to a woman earlier this year.

“To have students and friends vote for me makes me feel loved for who I am”, said the senior, who is a member of the Oak Park High cheerleading squad.

Patterson has received support from her parents. She’s just handsome and I love her.

Since being crowned, Landon spoke about how honored she feels.

Patterson, a cheerleader at Oak Park, was crowded Saturday night. Her mother, Debbie Hall, attended the homecoming parade and sat next to her daughter.

‘That’s my child. You have to back your children, ‘ Mrs Hall said.

“It was so overwhelming for me because she deserves that, she deserves nothing but the best in life because she gives nothing but the best to the people that she comes across”, friend Kimmy Crane-Allen said.
