Swish Says: Grab Your Magic Wand and Fairy Dust—It’s “Happy Endings for Everyone”!
Swish is honored to be part of the 41st annual Heritage of Pride New York City March, Sunday, June 27. Our award-winning marchers and live entertainers—complete with a fairy tale castle fit for queens—are Swishing down Fifth Avenue for the eighth consecutive year to create a world where the LGBT movement can have its “happy ending.”
“The ultimate fairy tale ending is happily ever after ... for everyone,” said Swish President and Co-Founder Sue Sena. “Swish’s entry in the 2010 Pride March represents gays and straights standing together for full equality.”
Our performers:
LGBT equality is too important not to.
We’re Swishing to:
Repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and ensure that LGBT military members may serve with dignity
Repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, so that every marriage in every state has the same federal rights
Enact the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, to prevent workplace discrimination
Stand in solidarity against violence in our communities
Reform immigration laws to recognize same-sex couples and end the needless separation of families
Protect the rights of LGBT parents to adopt children and build strong families
