BROOKLYN BOROUGH PRESIDENT MARTY MARKOWITZ
On Saturday, June 12th, Brooklyn Borough President joined in Brooklyn’s annual celebration of gay pride-the Brooklyn Pride Parade- in his customized float. On his float, Borough President Markowitz was joined by: Councilman Bill DeBlasio; City Planning Commissioner of Brooklyn Dolly Williams; Democratic District Leader Francis Bird; Park Slope Civic Council President and Civil Court Candidate Bernard Graham; and Civil Court Candidate Harley Diamond. Presenting a proclamation declaring Saturday, June 12th “Brooklyn Pride Celebration Day in Brooklyn, USA,” Borough President Markowitz commended the achievements of Brooklyn’s vibrant gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender community. “Brooklyn is proud to have one of the largest gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender populations anywhere in the world,” said Borough President Markowitz. “It is my hope that in the years to come, Brooklyn’s attitude of openness will become a model for all of America, that’s what I call Brooklyn pride.” Eight years ago, when he was a State Senator, Borough President Markowitz was one of the original supporters of this parade, which has now become a Brooklyn tradition. He has also participated in the parade every year since its inception. |
