From the election of prom kings and queens, to expectations about what students wear, or opposition to bringing a same-gender date, many don't feel welcome at their high school proms. One Bucks County school hosts a queer prom to try to change that.
For Carson Delany, the hour-long train ride flies by when there’s the Rainbow Room on the other side.
On Saturday, Delany planned to wear an all-black suit, eyeliner, and silver jewelry to the dance under the pink-lit glow of the adjoining Fonthill Castle. “Even if you’re straight and an ally, you belong, you will have a good time,” they said. “It just feels like everything prom should be.” As a 16-year-old attending Lincoln High School in Northeast Philadelphia in 1976, Camarota said her love interest was another girl, but bringing her to her prom “wasn’t even a discussion,” nor was what Camarota wore: a yellow chiffon dress with full hair and makeup.
Last week, the ACLU filed a federal complaint against the Central Bucks School District on behalf of seven trans and nonbinary students and their families, alleging the district has created a “hostile environment” for LGBTQ+ students through unchecked bullying and school board policies.
