QUEER PROM
Saturday, April 26
8:00 pm - 1:00 am
Student Union Apollo Room
This will be the second year for the LIVE Queer Prom. It is a dance for Wright State students/faculty/staff and other area college students/faculty/staff. The purpose of this dance is to create a safe, inclusive environment for students who may be of a sexual orientation, gender identity, or sexual identity that is in the minority. We created the event for people who may have wanted to go to their prom in high school with someone of their choosing, but could not for fear of being discriminated against. However, this event is for EVERYONE who is open-minded and accepting towards the GLBTQA community. The dance will include a DJ, refreshments, raffle, and dancing. College ID required for the event.
$7 presale
$10 at the door
For more information contact Ashley Bowers at bowers.25@wright.edu.
