Annie Wise and Riley Loudermilk, a pair of high schoolers in Kings Mill, Ohio, have been dating for six months now. On April 17, they were voted the prom king and queen, which they believe is the first time an LGBTQ couple has received the crowns in this district.
The excitement was through the roof when Wise recounted the moment how “My crown fell off and it broke. There was a lot going on, but it’s something I’ll never forget. It was amazing.” And while many see the prom couple as a recognition of their popularity, for Annie and Riley, the honor was much more than that. “I do hope it kind of just helps people realize that it’s OK to come out,” the prom queen told the press.
