But the ballroom at the Sheraton Harrisburg/Hershey Hotel wasn't a venue for any ordinary prom. On Friday night, it was a safe haven for dozens of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender high school students from across the midstate.

"The Butterfly Ball: A Celebration of Transformation" was a chance for some to dance with their same-sex dates or celebrate with confidence in cross-dress without fear of harassment or discrimination.
