A Night to Remember
Over 50% of LGBTQ+ students do not attend their proms for fear of being judged or harassed. More than 80% of transgender youth report feeling unsafe or uncomfortable attending school dances. “Not Your GAYla: Prom Night” is more than just a gala; it’s an opportunity for LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies to come together in an environment where authenticity is celebrated. The event aims to rewrite the narrative surrounding prom by providing a safe and inclusive space for everyone, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.
