This Monday (12/6), Clair Buffie, more commonly known as Miss New York, is coming to Hunter! She will be speaking in the auditorium during the afternoon (5th-8th periods). Ms. Buffie is one of the few, if not the only, pageant candidates to focus on the issue of LGBT equality in her campaign platform: "The issues of gay rights make up the civil rights movement of our generation and reach far beyond marriage equality. This will be a year of change in New York State and Claire is ready to support this incredible movement."
