About the Rainbow Prom

For many teens, the prom is the epitome of their high school experience. But for students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, it can be a challenge to feel like they belong. Yakima Pride decided to start a new annual tradition called "The Rainbow Prom," where attending LGBTQ+ youth are welcome and safe to be fully themselves.

Get ready to be inspired by the vibrant and diverse history of LGBTQ+ Pride flags! From Gilbert Baker's iconic rainbow flag to Monica Helms' meaningful "Transgender Pride" flag, each one represents a unique aspect of our community. And at Rainbow Prom, we're celebrating them all!

Whether you're attending the event or not, let the colors and symbols of Pride flags be a reminder of the importance of acceptance, love, and equality for all. So, put on your best attire and join us in celebrating the rich culture and history of the LGBTQ+ community. Let's continue to strive towards a future where everyone can live freely and authentically, without fear of judgment or discrimination. This is a celebration you won't want to miss!
