Chicago’s Queer Prom Looking for Volunteers

Chicago’s only queer prom for youth who want a chance to go to a fancy party as themselves (with a real date) is looking for volunteers. No need to go in a group or with a friend, this is a safe space for anyone in high school or college that identifies as some form of queer. Presented by Homofrecuencia and WRTE Radio Arte, this annual gala will take place at The National Museum of Mexican Art on Friday, May 23, 2008. Interested volunteers can go here and fill out the form. If you are young and just looking to party, tickets are (suggested donation) $10 for youth and $25 for adults. Queer Prom 2008: “Todos Me Miran” will be super fun and filled with tears of joy, as always. Full details after the jump.

PEDOPHILIA AT IT’S WORST! LURING TEENAGE BOYS TO A PERVERSE EVENT AT A SEX CLUB AND INVITING GROWN MEN TO SAID EVENT!?!? THIS AD IS BEING FAXED TO THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES.
whoa gabriel, the only one thinking of philing peds is you. stop looking at my blog, you creep!
If you are not drawing boys AND adults to your little party, then why have “suggested donations” for both age groups? Seems very black and white. So is the Bible on these issues!!!
This has got to be illegal!!!! Adult men at a youth event?????? Have mercy!
Notice that these teens are encouraged NOT to bring a friend or come in a group. They are encouraging these youth to come alone if they do not have a “real” date. This reeks of predatory behavior.
