NY1: Dromm Bringing Change to Queens

From NY1:With a same-sex marriage fight brewing in the New York State Senate, thousands turned out for the Pride Parade in Queens yesterday.

Backers of the bill took to the streets in Jackson Heights in support of legislation. The parade's founder says he started the event to fight for basic civil rights; a fight that he says goes on today.

"Back in those days, we wanted the right not to be fired from our jobs, to be able to find housing without discrimination," said Queens LGBT Pride Parade Founder Daniel Dromm. "And today we are fighting for marriage equality. That's a sign of the seed change and the attitude of elected officials, particularly in the borough of Queens."
