29 Weirdest Pictures From Our Queer Prom

Last month this website hosted a camp event in the woods, attended by 275 queer women and otherwise-identified humans. There was a prom on the last night. The color scheme was metallics, white and black. There was a photobooth. Everybody there was a weirdo.

    • Yesss! I know they is atleast 20 photos of me looking confused and surprised reaching for the camera hahaha.

  10. i didn’t know i’d ever get a perfect camp encapsulation, but sometimes the best gifts are those you don’t expect, right?

  13. I like how in both pictures of me I’m either sailing through the air in Courtney’s arms or yelling at Becca to give me back my gin. Very indicative of my entire camp experience, really.

  16. Impromptu Caption contest!

    1) ~Torre remembers that there’s a camera in this corner of the room.
    2) “who says I have lean over YOUR shoulder?”
    3) Couples Counselling; DeAnnes SomerButt is Becoming a Problem
    4) Nobody saw these Pom Poms coming!

    6) “What!? You mean we were only supposed to bring one date??”
    7) I…Just…need to tie my shoes!
    8) “Honey, can you please stop checking your phone just for a sec– ooh!”
    9) TEAMLIFT

    20) Nervous about repairing the rift in our streamers
    21) Bows before Bros
    22) Each one of these Humans showed up for a different kind of photo
    23) These things happen when you give 300 queers an unsupervised camera, It’s weird there’s just one
    24) SomerButt Returns From The Dead in the form of… SomerHat
    25) We came in like a wreeeeeecking baaaaaall (through these poor, poor streamers)

    28) Who moved the camera into the middle of our dance party!? RUDE
    29) VOCABULARY BEAR WILL TAKE THEIR OWN PHOTO, PUNY HUMANS

  19. I love that you can gauge at what point in the party these pictures were taken by how trashed that sparkle curtain is.

  23. You gays the entirety of my legs and half of my boob are on Autostraddle dot com, am I a calendar girl now?

  30. HOW ARE NONE OF THESE THE 700 PICTURES OF SOPHIA AND I?!?

    Also, wow those streamers made for some excellent photo-bombing opportunies

  32. Yay! I love the Photo Booth!

    SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

    12. was supposed to be a Colorado photo but Riese joined us (which was perfect) and was kind of choking me.

    I think it was a love choke though.

  40. Next time I go to camp and have to explain it to the border police, I’ll just pull out these gems…

  43. OMG! I can’t! This post just made my night! I cannot wait to see the rest of them! Also, #13 Almost made me pee my pants laughing so hard! And I love how Somer is so confused about the streamers in almost every photo. Hahaha

  47. I wasn’t having the best Tuesday, not at all. Actually it was sort of the worst day ever as Tiny Pineapple says. But this almost makes it the best day ever again.

  48. May I suggest a New Year’s Eve party for next camp? We can count down to midnight, drop some sort of ball and pop the champagne…
    Yes, I am thinking of May Camp already.

  49. I started trying to remember every picture I love but there are too many! What an amazing night! All of the feels.

  57. And in #13 you will see the reason why I felt the need to keep watch in our bunk at night…damn shark. I felt so disappointed in myself when I’d promptly fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I’m so good at pranks, obviously. COLOR WARS!

    P.S.
    My roommate is very thankful for that vegan apple cider. +whiskey

  58. OMG!! Just so much hotness and awesomeness! This is how I’ll remember one of the very best nights of my life! You’re all amazing!!!

  59. THIS WAS THE PERFECT NIGHT.
    –MAGDA AND GRACE!!!!–MY BLUE CRUSHERS!!! that photo is lovely and perfect and warms my heart. As well as all these other wacky ridiculous ones. ITS ACTUALLY AMAZING.

  60. So I keep refreshing this to read new and exciting comments, but does the second picture keep changing?!

  63. Being included in 2 of the weirdest queer prom pictures is probably the greatest achievement of my life thus far.

  64. So I don’t actually have anything much to say, because these pictures are filling me with too many emotions. What an awesome experience. Everyone is so great.
