Not everyone was as excited about his win, but there were plenty of people there to defend him.

Willmore told KOMU 8 News:
"It was literally like a dream."
"It was just really special to me."
He left it up to his followers to decide if he should run for homecoming "queen" or "royalty."
"They thought queen could look prettier on the sash."
"So I chose queen."
Because of Willmore's large platform, he's been challenging and working with the school to create a more up-to-date dress code.
@zachwillmore #duet with @zachwillmore for anyone new I changed the dress code at my school:) #fyp #dance #gay #viral
Before the changes, he said he used to feel targeted:
"Teachers were allowed to make the call of what was appropriate."
"Many times I did feel like they could target students, and I did feel targeted in some scenarios."
Columbia Public Schools spokesperson Michelle Baumstark told KOMU 8:
"Zachary Willmore is a wonderful student."
"He's engaged in school, active in activities, including cheer, and is not afraid to ask questions and identify challenges he sees around him."
"[Willmore] has challenged the dress code over his time at Rock Bridge and is working with the school to develop a more up-to-date dress code."
We are definitely congratulating this well deserving Homecoming Queen.
