SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) A Missouri church is planning to host a dance with free admission that’s open to all elementary school-aged children and their parents or guardians.
Rev. Phil Snider tells the Springfield News-Leader that the idea for the Rainbow Dance came after a member of the Brentwood Christian Church told him that her child felt left out of her school’s father-daughter dance because she has two moms.
Snider says the church’s dance will be open to all families, including same-sex couples, grandparents who take care of their grandchildren and families in which the father has died or isn’t around often. He says his church’s denomination, Disciples of Christ, “value(s) dignity and equality for all people, including LGBTQ friends.
Snider says the June 1 community dance will include music, snacks and games.
