Derrick Martin, the Cochran, Ga., gay teen who has made international headlines for planning to take his boyfriend to his high school prom, will be a guest of honor at tonight's concert by the Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus.

The chorus concludes its "Georgia on My Mind" tour of the state with one show tonight and two on Saturday at Virginia Highland Church. Tonight's concert is at 8 p.m.

"They called me and asked me to be a guest," Martin told the Georgia Voice Thursday night while lying on a trampoline with a group of friends. While in Atlanta, Martin said he may look for a tuxedo.

Martin said his principal at Bleckley High School first denied his request to bring his boyfriend to the prom in the small mid-Georgia town, then decided to approve it. The story continues to make headlines.
