Pride Prom TV Coverage

---

Nearly 100 teens from three school districts gathered at Concord High School on April 23 for a magical, embracing and affirming LGBTQI+ centered Pride Prom.

A PFLAG chapter in eastern Contra Costa County is hosting its first-ever Pride Prom in April, inviting LGBTQ+ teens from all the local district's high schools to attend.

For East Bay high school student Ryan Nelson, the upcoming prom will be particularly special. Nelson, who identifies as a transgender male, is not talking about a traditional prom, he's planning to attend the first-ever ‘Pride Prom’ for LGBTQ+ students from nine Contra Costa County high schools in Concord, Martinez, and Clayton.

Get your dancing shoes on! 🏳️‍🌈🎉 Juniors and seniors from these East Bay high schools can attend the first "Pride Prom," and no -- having a date is not required!

The first-ever Pride Prom in Contra Costa County will be held at Concord High School on April 23 for Juniors and Seniors from more than half a dozen high schools in the county.

At its best, prom is an opportunity for friends to gather, celebrate one another, be in community, feel honored and create a beautiful memory.
