SWiSH GOES BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL FOR 2009 NYC
PRIDE MARCH
‘Homocoming’ float to feature dance music industry artists Alan T,
Alexander, Sean McMahon, Mykel, and Tania Mashay
NEW YORK CITY – SWiSH – the world’s most fabulous gay-straight alliance –
welcomes all cheerleaders, “homocoming” queens, and football players to march
with them down Fifth Avenue on Sunday, June 28, 2009, in the New York City Pride
March, in honor of LGBT students past and present.
Joining us on this year’s high school-themed float will be some of the dance
music industry’s most notable artists, including performer Alan T and DJ/remixer/producer
Alexander of Blue Door Music, who will debut their new “SWiSH” track.
This is SWiSH’s seventh year in the NYC Pride march, having won awards from
organizers Heritage of Pride for marching in 2003 and 2008.
“We cheer for the other team, and for the queer in all of us,” said Sue Sena,
president and co-founder of SWiSH. “Our Pride presentation this year is both fun
and political – the hallmarks of the SWiSH brand of activism.”
‘Half-Time Show’ Music Lineup Announced:

leading artists in the dance music industry. Scheduled performers include:

Float to Honor LGBT Students:
This year’s float, RA RA SWiSH BOOM BA, honors LGBT young people who are proudly
out at school, the students who remain closeted in silence and isolation, and
members of older generations who never felt safe to come out during their high
school years.
“We’re bringing together the gay and straight communities in love and
partnership to celebrate LGBT students of all ages, and to call for policies
that make our schools safe for gay and lesbian students,” Sena said.
LGBT young people are too often the targets of harassment and violence in our
nation’s schools. Nearly nine out of 10 LGBT students have experienced
harassment at school, and more than four in 10 reported being physically
assaulted because of their sexual orientation, according to a recent survey by
the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
Interested marchers and supporters can register, make contributions to SWiSH,
and access all Pride 2009 information at www.SWiSHpride.org.
