Out lesbian former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn won’t be making a last-minute bid to become the next mayor of New York City.

Quinn announced February 22 that she would not seek the highest office in New York City this year, opting instead to continue focusing on “fighting for homeless families” as CEO of Women in Need (WIN), a nonprofit focused on lifting homeless women in the city out of poverty.
