CORONA — Eat, dance and enjoy being your fabulous self at next week's Pride Prom, which offers a do-over for those who felt excluded from their own high school celebration.
The free event, which will be held Tuesday, May 24 at the Queens Museum, will feature prizes, music from DJ Yayo and performances by host Lady Quesadilla.
The idea is to offer a safe place for celebration, for people of all ages, according to organizers.
"A proper rite of passage for individuals of all ages, this celebration is for anyone who is currently being shut out of their prom, was excluded in the past or simply did not feel welcome to be themselves," the event's listing page says.
City Councilman Danny Dromm — who organized the borough's first pride parade — is the special guest.
The prom is open to everyone, young and old, who wants to celebrate themselves and others.
The event sponsored by Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras-Copeland, Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and the Hispanic Federation, with support from Make the Road New York, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center, The Hetrick-Martin Institute and other groups.
