William Way LGBT Community Center to Hold Homecoming

On June 11th, the William Way LGBT Community Center is holding its first ever Homecoming extravaganza! If the thought of Homecoming conjures up nightmares of unflattering dresses and awkward dance-floor encounters, never fear. The Way Center’s version promises to be nothing like your high school’s dance, unless you went to the coolest high school ever. Things get rolling at 8 PM in the Center’s 1315 Spruce Street location, with a performance from the radically inclusive gospel choir A Voice for All People. They’ll be followed by the Liberty City Kings, Philadelphia’s renowned queer drag burlesque troupe. Last but certainly not least will be the divine Ladies of Sinful Sundays. The Notorious OMG will be running the show as the Mxtress of Ceremonies. Feel free to wander from room to room, enjoying the delicious summertime food and drinks. And of course, it wouldn’t be Homecoming without a King and Queen! The Center will be crowning two community leaders in a ceremony that is not to be missed. In fact, Equality PA's own Brian Sims has been nominated as part of the evening's Homecoming Court! If this sounds like fun to you (of course it does), you can purchase tickets online at http://www.waygay.org/events/homecoming2011.asp. Tickets run from $75 for VIP, to $35 for general admission, to $20 for “sobers, seniors, students, and starving artists.” It’s the perfect way to celebrate before Philly’s PrideFest the next day, or to cut loose after Saturday’s Dyke March! Bring your friends, or maybe ask that special someone you’ve been crushing on (it is Homecoming, after all).
