Adorable Gay Couple Go Viral After Attending Prom

Two high school athletes from West Virginia have shared photos of their prom and it’s the cutest thing.

 

Michael Martin and Logan Westrope, who have been together for four months, shared their images on Instagram and spoke to Outsports about their night.

“We knew this would be a night to remember,” Westrope told Outsports. “We walked in, checked in with our tickets, and were off to have fun!  At first we were both a little hesitant to hold hands, not knowing how the rest of the student body would react. But after a short while, we were always next to each other and danced together the whole night.”

Last December, Martin spoke about coming out to Outsports and dancing with his then-boyfriend at the homecoming dance. He was inspired to do so by his footballing hero Robbie Rogers, who too had come out earlier that year.

“Some of the slow songs we danced to were ‘Stay With Me’ (Sam Smith), ‘See You Again’ (Wiz Khalifa), and ‘All of Me’ (John Legend). At the moment when the slow songs played, we would just stare into each other’s eyes and would think of how lucky we are to have each other.” Westrope said.

“We didn’t hear any negative comments about Michael and I. A lot of people would come up to us (especially the girls) and say, ‘You both are so cute!’ or ‘You guys look great!’  Once we left the prom, I remember Michael saying to me in the car, ‘Logan, this is our last prom and I’m so glad I got to spend it with you.’ I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night.”

Michael invited Logan to the prom in March, with a sweet invitation in the parking lot of Logan’s place of employment, Chick Fil A (*cough*).

“I asked Logan to the prom after his work. I gave him a bag with a chicken sandwich inside and asked, ‘Are you a chicken or will you go to the prom with me?'” Michael said. “He easily and gladly said yes.”

“Most everyone knows that I am gay and for the most part everyone that I work with there accepts me for who I am,” Logan said. “I was extremely nervous to tell my fellow employees but then realized I wasn’t afraid to show the real me.”
