Clover Honey makes News in Brooklyn

I'm thrilled to be included, quoted and pictured in Brooklyn Newspapers in articles about the Brooklyn LGBT Pride Festival and Twilight Parade.  There is a wonderful photo of me and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams on the front page of The Brooklyn Paper saying "Borough President Adams takes a moment away from his grand duties to flash a smile with noted drag queen Lady Clover Honey." 

I was also quoted in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in their report about the event: "It's really amazing to see that not only de Blasio but so many of our local politicians support Brooklyn -- its queer culture and its diversity," said Lady Clover Honey, who marched in the parade. "Not everyone is lucky to have politicians like this that come out and show their love and that's what this parade is about -- love and pride in our community." 

"Having this parade at the end of the week and at night makes it different than most other Pride Parades," Lady Clover Honey said.  "Everything during the week leads up to this and having it at night gives it more of a party atmosphere, sort of a Caribbean feel.  It's so much fun."
