this is nothing to do with within the school but i would like to talk about this amazing LGBTQ+ event i went to at the weekend.
i attend an LGBTQ+ group in Motherwell and this year we were given the opportunity to attend a pride prom at the Radisson Blu hotel in Glasgow.
the same hotel hosted a prom like this last year but it was a lot smaller than this year. a lot of LGBT groups from around north Lanarkshire came to this prom along with LGBT youth who don’t attend a group. with the budget they had this year a lot more tickets where made so that’s probably it was so big.
being able to go to such a wonderful event like this was honestly such a experience, the air was so calm as people talked to one another and made new friends. everyone was dressed in suits and elegant gowns, everyone honestly looked like fresh off the red carpet. everyone enjoyed the acts, there was so much singing, dancing and excitement on the dance floor and it was clear everyone was having a good time.
being able to relax and just enjoy myself for a few hours was so wonderful and i would 100% do it again if i had the opportunity, and i’m sure a lot more people would feel the same as i do.
events like this are so important to people like me, especially the group i attend, if it wasn’t for that group i attend i honestly have no idea where i would be. they really let me feel comfortable with who i am and my identity and i cannot thank them enough.
such a wonderful night, i hope a lot of you can get the same opportunity i did and go to an event like this because it was just such a magical experience.
thank you for reading !!
