SAN DIEGO -- The Hillcrest Youth Center's annual "Other Prom" is taking place this Saturday and community members are needed to help sponsor youth to attend.

More than 300 youth from throughout San Diego are expected come together for the special evening, themed "HYC's Black N' White Other Prom 2012," to celebrate the end of the school year at the prom, which provides a space for participants to be themselves and share the evening with other LGBTQ young people.

The Other Prom provides inclusive, safe place for LGBT teens and their allies to celebrate in style

SAN DIEGO — Prom can be a horrible experience for LGBT teens. Case in point: Constance McMillen, whose Mississippi high school cancelled prom after McMillen asked to take her girlfriend, only to then hold a “secret” prom and not invite her.

The Hillcrest Youth Center, in partnership with the The Center, rights these wrongs with The Other Prom, a yearly event held for LGBT teens and their allies.

This year, the Other Prom will take place from 6 to 9 pm Saturday, June 18, at The Center in Hillcrest.
