‘Resilience is an art form’: Brisport honors queer activists, slams ‘haters’ in Pride month speech

Brooklyn state Sen. Jabari Brisport told anti-gay “haters” to “give up” on Wednesday as the body passed a resolution recognizing June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in New York State. 

The resolution, introduced every year, recognizes struggles and celebrations of the queer community in New York and across the country, from Stonewall to marriage equality to recent anti-LGBTQIA+ laws passed by federal and state governments.
