Anchorage Pride Prom 09

Over 150 Anchorage youth attended Pride Prom, the "break the silence" activity at the end of the national Day of Silence, held this year on Friday, April 17.

The Pride Prom is a judgement-free dance for youth ages 14-19, sponsored by the Anchorage GSAs. The theme was a Black & White Ball, and dancers were encouraged to wear clothing that would glow in the black lighting. Entertainment was provided by Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe.
