On Feb. 24, the Ali Forney Center led a rally for LGBTQ+ rights in Albany seeking greater protection for New York’s LGBTQ+ community from Trump administration executive actions.
The Ali Forney Center members were joined by other advocates and care providers, as well as state Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, and Assembly Members Deborah Glick, Jessica González-Rojas, and Harry Bronson. The rally occurred as a direct response to the defunding of programs that promote “gender ideology,” the mandated recognition of only two sexes, and the complete obliteration of DEI initiatives.
