Mayor Eric Adams called the current campaign this the angriest election season he’s seen

New York Mayor Eric Adams did not mince his words about his disapproval of what he called the large number of “nasty” Gen Z voters supporting Zhoran Mamdani, the democratic socialist candidate leading the race for NYC mayor.

          So if I understand you correctly, you’re saying that him being a Muslim makes it inevitable that he will apply Sharia law (or something equivalent) to NYC?

      I think the LGBTQ+ folk can probably go ahead and not do what you’re implying they should do: worry.

      Mamdani attended a Trans Community Town Hall with Ceyenne Doroshow in May, where he spoke with several activists about his plans for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers.

      “New York City must be a refuge for LGBTQIA+ people, but private institutions in our own city have already started capitulating to Trump’s assault on trans rights,” the Democratic candidate wrote in an Instagram post. “Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis confronting working class people across the city hits the LGBTQIA+ community particularly hard, with higher rates of unemployment and homelessness than the rest of the city.”

      Mamdani’s campaign promises included: The expansion and protection of gender-affirming care across New York City; the commitment to “strengthen and uphold the rights of queer and trans New Yorkers” through sanctuary protections; and the creation of an “Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs” with the intent to “expand and centralize the services, programs, and support LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers’s needs across housing, employment, and more.”

      What is your problem with the lgbt community? This is the 2nd post of yours implying we’re stupid and don’t know what we’re doing. They’re both framed the same way too, “the lgbt… group is about to find out what it’s like living with muslims.” He’s Muslim, so what? The Bible has homophobic and transphobic interpretations, explain queer churches. Imo all religion is stupid, and you putting down Islam is just a sign that you’re incapable of critical thinking. Do you think queerness only exists in Christian and agnostic countries? Do you think queer people don’t know what Muslim religions say about us? Do you think Muslims can’t be queer? Step out of your black and white Bizarro world view man, we’re in the 21st century.
