    What are we supposed to wear for pride prom? The theme is gender bender, but I'm a girl and i want to wear a real prom gown ,but I'm not sure if it's semi-formal, formal, or just a dance- help?

    I think it's a casual theme dance, but you can wear whatever you want.

    Correction: checked with the GSA student organizers and they said it's semi-formal to formal this year, and you can go all out if you want to.
