Miss New York is a New Yorker for Marriage Equality


Claire Buffie, the reigning Miss New York from the Miss America Organization, has joined with the Human Rights Campaign – the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization – for a video supporting Marriage Equality in the Empire State. In a new video, Buffie describes marriage equality as a “fundamental fight for fairness,” and how she competed in Miss America 2010 on an LGBT rights platform. The campaign, which raises the public profile of marriage equality in the Empire State, can be viewed online at www.hrc.org/NY4marriage.
