Jorden Doyle for the Los Angeles LGBT Center
In early July, the LA LGBT Center hosted its annual Senior Prom, with more than 300 attendees aged 50 and older. For some, it was a chance to enjoy this moment as their authentic selves; for others who couldn't enjoy their prom, it was a chance to relive it without fear or discrimination they experienced in their youth.
