Changing Customizer Select To Checbox, But Retaining Classes

On a custom theme I had made, I had some options like so:

$wp_customize->add_setting('swag_header_display_homepage', array(
        'default' => 'header-display-homepage-yes'
    ));
    $wp_customize->add_control('swag_header_display_homepage', array(
        'label' => 'Display Header On Homepage',
        'section' => 'swag_header_display_section',
        'type' => 'select'
        'choices' => array(
            'header-display-homepage-yes' => __('Yes'),
            'header-display-homepage-no' => __('No')
        )
    ));

The choices you see there end up being classes that get added to the header.

I tried changing it to a checkbox instead of dropdown selection by changing 'type' => 'select' to 'type' => 'checkbox'. Although, I know "choices" are for dropdown selections. How can I keep the classes when changing it to a checkbox.

I tried

'std' => array(
            'header-display-homepage-yes' => __('1'),
            'header-display-homepage-no' => __('0')
        )

Which I know is wrong on so many levels. How can I do it properly, or is it even possible?

Checkboxes would be the incorrect choice for a yes/no option, because you'd be able to select both options. You want radio buttons. Just change type to radio. Radio buttons also support choices, so you won't need to change that part.
