Description

You're invited to join us for a night you cane not Reese-ist filled with life size lollypops, gumdrops gardens, fluffy cotton candy, and chocolate fountains at We Are Family's Charleston Queer Youth Prom on April 1st from 6pm-10pm at the Union Station (652A King St, Charleston, SC 29403). The Charleston Queer Prom IS that one magical night of the year for middle and highschool students to dance, celebrate, and build community free from anti-LGBTQI+ discrimination. The event is presented by We Are Family, South Carolina’s oldest LGBTQ+ youth serving organization. Why Queer Prom? For LGBTQI+ Middle/High schoolers, prom can present an incredibly repressive hurdle in young people's journey toward self-discovery. LGBTQ+ visibility remains underrepresented in our schools and examples of freedom of expression of love and identity remain few and far between. Young people are often expected to uphold heteronormative standards regardless of their own sexual orientation or gender identity when attending their school prom. Queer Prom creates space for queer liberation, exploration, and affirmation among LGBTQ+ youth. Know before you go: This year’s Queer Youth Prom theme is "The Sweetest Escape". So think candyland, rainbows and sweets mixed with a little y2k.This event is open to ALL current middle and high school students as well as homeschooled students. Straight allies are welcome to attend! Attendees can bring whomever they want as long as they are also currently enrolled in middle or high school.Attendees can come dressed in their prom best, cosplay, on theme, or even in jeans and a nice shirt. There is no dresscode at this prom! Every attendee MUST have their own ticket.The event is FREE thanks to our sponsors who helped make this event possible.
