Gay Prom (http://gaylife.about.com/cs/comingout/ht/prom.htm): "1. First and foremost, try not to stress out over the situation. It's an important decision to take a same-sex date to the prom. Take time to evaluate the gay-friendliness and climate of your school.
2. Inform the school administration of your plans to bring a same-sex date. That way they can discuss security measures or student body education if necessary. They may advise against bringing a gay date for safety reasons or just to avoid a stir, but ultimately the decision is up to you.
3. If possible, inform your parents or an adult you trust of your plans. They can be a vital support network and can help you think through the worst-case scenario.
4. Make sure your date is comfortable being your date at a predominately heterosexual event.
5. If you're not out and plan to stay that way throughout high school, you may want to reconsider taking a same-sex date. It will be terribly hard to avoid coming out to the entire student body while slow dancing with another guy.
6. Solicit support from friends. Let them know that you are bringing a same-sex date. "
