Queens pols join open letter calling on NYU Langone to reverse decision halting gender-affirming care for youths

Numerous elected officials in Queens have signed a letter calling on NYU Langone to reverse a decision to halt its Transgender Youth Health Program after the Trump Administration threatened to withhold federal funding for any hospital that offered gender-affirming care to youths.

The letter, addressed to NYU Langone CEO Robert Grossman, has been signed by 73 elected officials across New York State, including State Senators Kristen Gonzalez, Mike Gianaris, Leroy Comrie, John Liu and Jessica Ramos.
