Boys and girls who wish they could have taken a boy or girl (respectively) to prom now have the chance to relive that night. Hell, even girls who took gay boys to prom hoping to at last be disrespected have one more chance to get it right—local nonprofit
Out Youth will be hosting an
Alternative Adult Prom this Saturday night at Adora Hall. This prom gives GLBT adults (as well as straight supporters) the opportunity to travel back in time for the ultimate high school dance, with a theme involving red carpets, harassing paparazzi, and little gold man statuettes. At 8:30 p.m., all the "old folks" will have to vacate and make way for LGBT youth, some of whom will travel from San Antonio and Dallas, for their own prom—if you’re a young boy or girl wishing to take that special someone to the big high school dance, here’s your chance. All proceeds from the event go to support for Out Youth, which was founded in 1990 to provide services for LGBT and questioning youth ages 12-19.
