The Stonewall Committee hosts the LGBT Booth at the New York State Fair each year.  Here is a photo of our booth with two of our volunteers.  We will post more photos from the 2009 State Fair soon.

The highlight of our work at the Fair in 2009 was collecting petitions in support of Marriage Equality, GENDA (Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act) and the Dignity For All Students Act.  The petitions were collected at the booth, and sent to the Empire State Pride Agenda in Albany, where they were sorted and forwarded to appropriate members of the New York State Senate and the Speaker of the Senate.

 

 

Thanks to everyone who supported our effort in 2009. 

 

The 2010 New York State Fair will be our 10th year at the Fair.  The dates for the 2010 Fair are Thursday August 26 to Monday September 6. If you are interested in helping support this effort, please contact us at lgbtfair@twcny.rr.com
