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.
