Queer prom provides
‘night they never had’
Anyone with an ‘open mind’
is invited to attend the prom
to celebrate all relationships
Athena Ehnot

Prom — this one word has the
ability to bring countless emotions
and memories to mind. 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. How
about a great black tux with a bright
vest and snazzy shoes to compli
ment your date’s blue-black spaghet
ti strap evening gown?
The Queer Prom is a first for the

versity’s LGBTQA and other groups

22 universities and community col
leges from across the state will attend

Kristina Armenakis, co-director
of the LGBTQA, said the theme for
the evening is “The Night They
Never Had.”
“One of the reasons this prom is
r
so important to me is because this is
the first time I have gotten to get all
dressed up with the queer communi

Armenakis said.
She added that the Queer Prom
provides a safe atmosphere for people
