The same group of candidates who participated in an LGBTQ mayoral forum earlier this year gathered at Red Eye NY in midtown on May 31 for another discussion about how to tackle issues facing queer and trans New Yorkers.
The forum, hosted by Queers for Action and a group of non-profits, covered topics ranging from efforts to shore up funding for gender-affirming care to candidates’ plans to bolster the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB), which is an independent, civilian agency tasked with investigating, mediating, and prosecuting police misconduct. The event came less than a month before the candidates square off in the June 24 Democratic Primary.
