In front of a packed crowd of supporters at Harlem Tavern on election night, State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal declared victory and made history in the general election for Manhattan borough president, making him New York City’s first out borough president.
“Being the first LGBTQ borough president, I think, is important for representation so that young queer kids who are interested in public service know that the sky’s the limit,” Hoylman-Sigal told Gay City News at a jam-packed watch party in Central Harlem.
