   SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- It was a night of music, dancing and a whole lot of   
   pride.   
      
   On Saturday, the first annual Pride Prom was held under the rotunda of the   
   San Francisco Centre.   
      
   "Come in a judgment-free zone. Express yourself. Be bold. The only rule is   
   you have to have a great time," said Ben Kaplan.   
      
   Kaplan is one of the organizers.   
      
   He says the goal of the prom is to create a fun and inclusive event for   
   everyone.

   Someone excited to do just that was Angel Tapia.   
      
   Tapia said she never got the chance to go to prom when she was in high   
   school.   
      
   "I didn't come out in high school, and I've never been really comfortable   
   in a prom setting, so this is kind of my opportunity as a 25-year-old   
   woman to get that prom experience," Tapia said.   
      
   Organizers said the prom is about a lot more than just expressing one's   
   pride though. It's also a way to help revitalize the city's downtown core.   
      
   Supervisor Matt Dorsey represents this district and is openly gay himself.
