Time is running out to get your tickets for the 2009 Fall Dinner!

The Empire State Pride Agenda is proud to announce that U.S. Senator Charles Schumer will deliver the keynote address at this year’s Fall Dinner on Thursday, October 22.  Earlier this year, Senator Schumer declared his full support of marriage equality and the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act. At that time he also pledged to do work with us to help pass the marriage equality bill here in New York State.

He is a co-sponsor of both the trans-inclusive federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act and the Uniting American Families Act, which would provide equal rights in immigration law for bi-national same-sex couples. He also fought to defeat the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would have written discrimination into the U.S. Constitution, and he is a key supporter of the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act. 

Also joining us on stage for a very special performance is Alan Cumming, with Lance Horne leading the band.  Alan has rallied with us in Albany, and will now lend his voice to our Fall Dinner with music from his recently released album!  Finally, DJ Brenda Black will close up the night by spinning at our post-event reception.

Please join us and be part of this incredible evening.  We anticipate another sold out room, and ticket sales close next Friday, October 16 at 5 pm.  Proceeds from the event support the work of the Empire State Pride Agenda to win equality and justice for LGBT New Yorkers and our families.  Don’t miss out on this event!
