I wish them luck Stop with your anti-Muslim fear mongering. LGBTQ folks have nothing to worry about under Mamdani. AI Overview Zohran Mamdani, the Mayor-elect of New York City, has a documented history of strong, proactive support for the LGBTQ+ community, centering his platform on safety, inclusion, and the protection of transgender rights.  He has positioned himself as an ally to the community, winning 81% of the LGBTQ+ vote in the 2025 general election. Key aspects of his attitude and policy platform include: Sanctuary City Status: Mamdani has pledged to make New York City a "sanctuary city" for LGBTQ+ people, particularly protecting them and those seeking gender-affirming care from persecution by other states.  Transgender Rights Focus: He has championed trans rights as a response to what he calls a "hostile political environment". As a state assemblymember, he co-sponsored the Gender Recognition Act (allowing for "X" gender markers) and supported the repeal of the "Walking While Trans" law.  Healthcare and Funding: He has pledged to invest $65 million in healthcare facilities providing gender-affirming care and has proposed an additional $87 million for an Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs to fund housing, mental health services, and workforce investments.  Active Advocacy: During his campaign, Mamdani attended the NYC Pride March, participated in Trans Day of Visibility rallies, and made a surprise visit to a queer nightclub (Papi Juice).

jerryskids 7,225 Posted 16 minutes ago Just now, Ron_Artest said: Jerry, that decision was made by the MTA prior to Mamdani being sworn in. Come on man. Was it made after he was elected?  Or was there a doubt that he would be sworn in? Didn't Mamdani raise funds to hit the ground running? Did he not talk to the MTA about raising fares? Regardless, my main point is that he ran on a bunch of stuff he can't accomplish, which I'm on record of saying here. I think (hope, as the father of a daughter who lives in NYC) that at the end of his term he will have accomplished virtually none of his socialist utopian plans that suckers voted for, and instead will complain about how the capitalist system kept him from implementing the "warmth of collectivism."  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Full quote, in context: And if for too long these communities have existed as distinct from one another, we will draw this city closer together. We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. If our campaign demonstrated that the people of New York yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it. Because no matter what you eat, what language you speak, how you pray, or where you come from—the words that most define us are the two we all share: New Yorkers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
