Yesterday our Company participated in the Stonewall Festival & Parade in the Wilton Manor Community of Fort Lauderdale! It was so much fun! We partook in the Touch of Paradise Event's "Marriage Equality" float as flower girls and ring bearers.
It was great to hear Debbie Wasserman Schultz speaking about human rights, specifically gay rights in marriage. She was absolutely inspiring! The Grand Marshal of the Parade was Thomas Roberts of MSNBC, who came out professionally as gay in September 2006 at the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association convention in
I don't know if you know this but the Stonewall Inn (A NYC a gay bar) police raid in June1969 sparked the Modern Gay movement. Which is why this particular parade was so important!
The crowd chanted, "Swipes, Swipes, Swipes..." as we walked along the float throwing out Swipes Lovin Wipes to all. We couldn't help but think "wow we are spreading the 'Lovin'..(literally and figuratively speaking!)". We had a great time and we are thankful they allowed us to be apart of the festivities!
Can't wait for the next one!
Until next time... Peace, Lovin, and Swipes!
