“How dare she put our community’s heritage up for a popularity contest or a vote,” advocate Allen Roskoff told the New York Daily News. “We are outraged.”
LGBTQ activists in Queens are up in arms about a proposal by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to rename a local post office that currently honors the founders of a group for parents of lesbian and gay children. “How dare she put our community’s heritage up for a popularity contest or a vote,” advocate Allen Roskoff told the New York. “We are outraged.
” Ocasio-Cortez was seeking public input on a new name for the Jeanne and Jules Manford Post Office, which her rep said “seemed like a small but interesting way to engage our community in the legislative process.” The congresswoman’s office said the renaming idea was sparked by a suggestion that it honor LGBTQ activist Lorena Borjas.
