In this clip from last night’s Stonewall meeting, Eric Gioia tells an audience member that he will investigate all 59 community boards in the city to see if they’re living up to diversity requirements.
“Many of them do not have even one openly LGBT member, including Community Board 1 in Astoria, which has the largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population in all of Queens,” Dirk McCall, a gay rights activist, told Gioia.
I covered that part of Queens for three years at another paper and can’t say for sure what the size of the LGBT community is but it is definitely significant.
