Husband wants to go to adult prom
I am a gay man and me and my husband have 3 beautiful children. Two were adopted and 1 we had 4 months ago from a surrogate. We have been together since high school and our high school reached out to us because we are alumni and LGBT. When me and my husband were in high school we were not allowed to go to prom. Gay couples weren't allowed in prom. My husband was upset because he never got to go to prom. Our high school reached out because as an apology to the LGBT community they're having an adult prom through the YMCA and welcoming the LGBT alumni. My husband was super excited and even promposaled to me. I am not excited. I don't want to go. Here's my problem. The school is acting like the only thing they did wrong was not allow gay couples into prom when they did worse. They didn't protect their LGBT students at all. I remember when a teacher locked me into a classroom when I was 15 and had my first boyfriend and told me how they didn't want me going to hell and gave me a Bible. This was a public school btw. The school did nothing to this teacher. Even though they locked me in a room. I also was not allowed to use the boys bathroom with other boys in there because I would get my ass kicked. The first time it happened the principal did not punish them. I was told to keep everyone comfortable only go into the bathroom when no other boys are in there. Because they're uncomfortable with using the bathroom with a gay kid but totally comfortable with beating me up while I use the urinal because that makes sense. I was treated badly. My husband was treated badly. This was beyond we weren't allowed into prom. So if their apology for being a shit school snd allowing abuse and harassment of students they're supposed to protect is to 17 years later throw a shitty prom that I have to pay $100 a ticket to get into, sorry apology not accepted. And for anyone who may think I'm overreacting just flip it, if you were being bullied and harassed in school for being christian, or a woman, or the color of your skin. Yeah. I'm still salty. I've moved on with my life and got married and had a family. That school can burn. But I will also do anything for my husband to make him happy and if he thinks spending $200 on a YMCA prom is something he wants than ok. I understand he never got to go to prom and he really wanted to. But should I tell him how I feel or just suck it up for one night
