Victoria Cruz and her girlfriend of two and a half years, Deoine, were voted “best couple” at their high school, Mott Haven Village Prep.

Cruz, a reporter with the program Radio Rookies, produced a segment for WNYC about how she and Deoine won the honor despite ballots that asked students to pick one girl and one boy — and how it feels to be unable to show the yearbook with their picture to her grandmother, who doesn’t know she is gay.
