2011 Capital Queer Prom
By Michael Key on March 20, 2011
The 2011 Capital Queer Prom was held on Saturday aboard the “Spirit of Mount Vernon.” Revelers of all ages enjoyed a night of dancing and socializing. Constance McMillen, the Mississippi high school student who challenged her school’s ban on same-sex dates to the prom, was honored as the “honorary prom queen.” Local drag performers Shi-Queeta-Lee and Rocky were voted prom queen and king.
