New York Mayor Eric Adams Appoints Officials with Anti-Gay Histories

Even though it’s a really bad move for Eric Adams to make, I’m really not surprised about this one. It’s something that straights do all the time and they mostly fly under the proverbial radar for it. You see, when you are so deeply rooted in straight privilege you don’t have the capacity to understand the magnitude of appointing officials with anti-gay histories. You can’t feel the hurt and disappointment. Eric has appointed these people without apology.

Adams hired former City Council Member Fernando Cabrera as a faith adviser, and former mayoral candidate Erick Salgado as an assistant commissioner for immigrant affairs, to an outcry from LGBTQ advocates. “I spoke with a number of those leaders and shared my thoughts, and I stated ‘I respect your thoughts, but I’m going to do what’s best for the city of New York,’” he said Tuesday.

Here’s more. According to this article, Cabrera even went so far as to praise the awful country of Uganda just as it was about to put forth a law that criminalized gay men in the worst ways possible.

Pro-gay advocates are not letting this one disappear quickly. The backlash is strong and fierce and Adams doesn’t seem to be backing down. Once again, I’m not surprised. This is what straights will do.

Reader Reviews: This is the first of its kind not only a gay retelling of Flowers in the Attic but the first of any kind of retelling of any of the V.C. Andrews books. Usually, two fears strike for fans of any book that is going to get a new twist.
