The University of Michigan hosted its annual Pride Prom where over 100 LGBTQ+ students, staff, faculty, and alumni gathered for a 'Written in the Stars'-themed event. This free event aimed to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals by offering a traditional prom experience.
Organizers at the Spectrum Center aimed to create a positive and inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ young people by hosting the dedicated Pride Prom event. They wanted attendees to have a good experience after potentially challenging high school proms.
Macie Richardson highlighted the importance of offering LGBTQ+ individuals a chance to create positive prom memories, especially if their high school experiences were not ideal. The event incorporated activities like tarot card readings, a drag performance, and measures for accessibility.
