Maryland high school student secretly takes boyfriend to prom

17-year-old has big night behind parents’ backs

A bisexual Maryland high school student secretly took his boyfriend to prom causing a social media stir.

Myren’s parents banned him from attending prom with his boyfriend Ralph. The 17-year-old told Buzzfeed his parents have never approved of his relationship. He decided he would go anyway to enjoy the night, which coincidentally landed on the couple’s seven month anniversary.

“My parents wont let me see him. It’s like I’m already living on punishment, so what do I have to lose by going to prom?” Myren told Buzzfeed.

After telling his parents he was attending a party after school, Myren went to the prom with Ralph.

“Everyone’s mom was standing there taking pictures of their kids, talking about how beautiful they looked and how they were so proud of them,” Myren continued. “I imagined what my mom would have looked like taking pictures of me in my suit. Everyone at the send-off was a stranger to me except my boyfriend. None of his family came to his send-off either.”

The teen tweeted pictures of his secret big night which has received more than 47,000 likes since Saturday.

“When we were dancing together I teared up some because there were times where I never thought we would go to prom,” Myren says. “But there we were.”

On Tuesday, Myren tweeted his parents still don’t know where he actually went Saturday night.
