It is an im portant day for many high school students, taking several months of preparation and hundreds of dollars spent for just a few hours of exhila ration. Unfortunately, this is not how everyone remembers the prom of their high school days. For the gay community, prom was an event where many stayed home, or attended only to find themselves “out of place.” But this Saturday, members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisex ual, Transgender, Queer Alliance will get a chance to take part in a prom of their own. The Queer Prom will provide a chance for all of those who missed their first prom to attend one they can really call a night to remember, event organizers said. There are always a few pertinent questions when it comes to getting ready for a prom. Who to take, where to dine before the dance, and most importantly, what to wear.
