Claire Buffie won the 2010 Miss New York Competition on June 26 in Albany on a platform of speaking out as a straight ally for equal rights for LGBT people. Claire is a member of PFLAG NYC, an active volunteer speaker in the Safe Schools Program, and a member of the board.
More than 100 people marched with PFLAG NYC in the 40th NYC LGBT Pride March on Sunday, June 27, 2010. We had mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts and uncle, and all variety of friends. Gay, straight, trans. It was a fantastic, moving party down Fifth Avenue.
PFLAG NYC mothers Suzanne Ramos and Jane Tully will lead a talkback discussion with the cast of the TONY Award-nominated play, "NEXT FALL," after the performance on Tuesday, May 25.
As someone in my 60s, it is natural for a 12-year-old to seem very young. And young is just what this particular young lady seemed to me after the assistant principal asked her to escort me to the auditorium at ACCION Academy near Crotona Park in the Bronx.
