Two California high school students became one of the first lesbian couples crowned homecoming king and queen in the nation this weekend.

Rebeca Arellano, a senior at Patrick Henry High School, was made the school's first female homecoming king when her name was announced Friday at a pep rally.

"They were chanting my name and it was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had," said Arellano.

Arellano's girlfriend, Haileigh Adams, who also attends Patrick Henry High School, was made homecoming queen at Saturday night's dance.

"I was happier than when I won, my little Haileigh has just been announced Homecoming queen and I couldn't feel happier! Thanks to every single one of you! You guys made this happen and we are all part of something huge. I can't fully express how grateful I am. I am in completely shocked that this happen. My girl looks absolutely flawless," wrote Arellano on Facebook Saturday night.

The two girls told ABC News that they're thankful for the abundance of support they've received from family, friends, and students and staff at the school.

Arellano said one of her teachers told her, "Today school is a bit better because of you girls."

Arellano's Facebook wall is covered with congratulatory notes from her friends.

"Thank you all for allowing this change to happen," Arellano posted on Facebook.

Adams said they have received negative feedback as well.

"We have a lot of support, but there are also a lot of people who are angry about it," she said. "Anonymous Patrick Henry students are saying they're embarrassed and that it's wrong for a girl to take the spot of king. But there's no other way for us to run as a couple. It's not really fair for us not to have the right to run as a couple."

Arellano posted a statement to those who opposed her on her Facebook wall that read: "For all the girls who think tradition should be continued, go back to the kitchen, stop having sex before you're married, get out of school and job system, don't have an opinion, don't own any property, give up the right to marry who you love, don't vote, and allow your husband to do whatever he pleases to you. Think about the meaning of tradition when you use it in your argument against us."

Adams and Arellano both came out their freshman year of high school, and they began dating in February of their sophomore year. They say their parents were supportive both when they came out and when they started dating.

Sure it's just the latest example of the culture in decline but on the bright side.... Even though she has the butch hair she's a far cry from Rosie.

I say nuke California into a sheet of glass and call it a day.

You know you could just stay away from the state, and both you and California would call it a win.

The problem with California is, they are going to be coming to us.... in need of a bail-out before too long.

Anyway, it has been true historically, what seems odd in Ca in time becomes reality across the country.

Another indicator we are in trouble.

Back in '94 I drove an extra couple of hours from Medford, Oregon just so I could cross the state line and p*ss on the ground. I can say I p*ssed on California.

Screw em, don't give them a nickel. They want to spend their money on illegals and gay history classes in public schools than so be it but not a nickel from anyone outside of that place.

You sure showed them. Will California ever recover?

It's extremely unlikely. And you know, that story just gets funnier every time he tells it.

And to piss on the northern part of the state when that part is in tune with your thoughts also seems odd. A few more hours drive then it would have made sense.

I figured it would be my only chance so I made the best of it.

Why? Piss is organic. Hell, sometimes it's even green.
