SUMMARY:Queer Prom: Murder Mystery
DESCRIPTION:Queer Prom: Murder Mystery\nby Harriet Hancock Center\nFriday\, June 14th @7pm\nTeens — FREE\nNote: This is NOT a Cola City event. \nSet in the 80s\, our version of Queer Prom features drag Kings and Queens and a murder mystery. Come together with other Midlands queer youth to solve the murder and figure out if this was truly a prom to die for.\n\n\nMidlands Queer Prom aims to be an inclusive and affirming event specifically designed for LGBTQ+ youth to celebrate their identities in a safe and supportive environment. Unlike traditional proms\, which may not always cater to the diverse needs of LGBTQ+ individuals\, Midlands Queer Prom provides a space where attendees can express themselves authentically\, free from judgment or discrimination. \nThis event includes elements such as gender-neutral dress codes\, same-sex couples being welcomed and celebrated\, and a focus on LGBTQ+ artists and performers. Queer Prom is not only a celebration but also a statement of solidarity and empowerment\, fostering a sense of belonging and community among LGBTQ+ youth who may face challenges or isolation in other social settings. It serves as a reminder that everyone deserves to feel valued and accepted for who they are. \nRegister HERE by June 7th. \n\n\n
