There are no words. Pillars of our community - Mickey and Jordan left an indelible mark on Allentown, the City of Buffalo, and our hearts. Rest in Power!

Stonewall Democrats of WNY are heartbroken to join the WNY LGBTQ+ community in mourning the tragic losses of our beloved community members Mickey Harmon and Jordan Celotto. Artists, community activists and loved friends, both Mickey and Jordan gave so much to our WNY LGBTQ+ and Allentown communities. There are no words. Our hearts are heavy, and with all of Jordan and Mickey’s friends, family and all in the community who knew and loved them.

Did you know that Jolly Ranchers changed the course of history with the fight for Marriage Equality???

We thought we should share some positive energy from our history to help everyone see what is possible when you believe...

KITTY & CHERYLE LAMBERT-RUDD ~ This is the true story of how Jolly Ranchers and a Puzzle changed history, and helped LGBTQ+ New Yorkers win Marriage Equality when others said "You'll never get that Senator's vote!"
