CutestCouple

We all remember those “senior superlatives” in the high school yearbook — you know, “most likely to succeed,” “class clown,” “best dressed.”

“Cutest couple.”

And wasn’t your cutest couple always the hunky quarterback and his perky blonde cheerleader girlfriend?

Well, at one high school, Brad Taylor and Dylan Meehan, two gay teens, won the title “cutest couple.”

After one of their classmates posted a screen capture of the yearbook item on her Tumblr account, the photo went viral.

Its widespread popularity, especially after appearing on the Huffington Post (here), is great. But I’m really more impressed by the school — its leadership and its student body — that this could happen without controversy. It’s an inspiring little story no matter how you look at it.
