Candidates gathered in midtown New York for a mayoral forum addressing LGBTQ issues such as gender-affirming care funding and the Civilian Complaint Review Board's role in addressing police misconduct. The forum, held by Queers for Action and non-profits, featured discussions among notable candidates just weeks before the Democratic Primary. Gender-affirming care became especially pertinent following restrictive federal policies, prompting collective concern from both candidates and community members, highlighting the significance of adequate healthcare access and legal protections for LGBTQ individuals.
