Anti-proms and Alternative Proms
Anti-proms are private, unofficial proms that are privately created, outside the control of the school, usually by people who disagree with their school's prom policies.
Adult proms for gay and lesbian adults who could not attend their prom with a date of the same sex are popular in some cities. A 1980 court decision required public schools to allow same-sex dates.

Famous quotes containing the word alternative:
“Our mother gives us our earliest lessons in love—and its partner, hate. Our father—our “second other”Melaborates on them. Offering us an alternative to the mother-baby relationship . . . presenting a masculine model which can supplement and contrast with the feminine. And providing us with further and perhaps quite different meanings of lovable and loving and being loved.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
