New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani proudly announced the creation of a brand new Office of LGBTQIA+ affairs and picked a man who thinks he’s a woman to head it up.
The Ugandan-born Democrat is quickly moving to put his stamp on the Big Apple since taking control and proceeded to appeal to a demographic that reliably votes for his party early on in his first term.
On Friday, Hizzoner announced he had signed an executive order to create the Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and that Taylor Brown would be its first director, making history as the first openly transgender person to lead a Gotham office or agency.
“It is personal to her. Taylor will be the first out trans woman to lead a city office in New York City history,” Mamdani said.

“Today, I signed an executive order establishing the first-ever Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appointing the brilliant Taylor Brown as Director,” he said in a statement posted to X. “Queer New Yorkers deserve to be not just protected, but celebrated in this city. Together, we will fight for their right to live a life of dignity, safety, and unabashed pride.”
Brown, an attorney in the Civil Rights Bureau for the New York State Attorney General, joined a beaming Mamdani for a news conference at the Brooklyn Community Pride Center.
“New York has given me everything — life-saving health care, education, a home, a career, my chosen family, and a life of purpose. I am so proud to serve this city as the inaugural Director of the Mayor’s Office for LGBTQIA+ Affairs,” the newly crowned director said in a statement.
“I will work every day to ensure that the doors of New York City remain open to all and to continue New York City’s legacy as a beacon of opportunity and hope for those who have been ignored, discriminated against, and intentionally excluded,” he added.
X users weighed in with their feedback on Mamdani’s historic announcement.
The city is broke and you’re appointing trans people to direct nonsensical delusional bullshit?

Comrade, here’s my proposal. You need to establish the first ever Mayor’s office of LGBTQAI+ Affairs in Muslim Community. Make sure to put up a trans flag in front of every mosque and encourage trans people to find safe harbor among the welcoming Muslims. Success guaranteed.

A completely utterly useless office and a waste of money but since you will be raising taxes on everybody soon, you should be able to cover it.

Sir, the city can’t even pick up garbage.

I’m sure your taxpayers will be thrilled to pay additional taxes for the cause.

Congratulations! How did NYC ever survive so long without something as incredibly essential as a LGBTQIA+ Affairs office? Who knows, but today? NYC is fabulous than ever!

According to the NYC mayor’s official website: “The Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs will oversee and coordinate implementation of initiatives across city agencies that serve LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers.”
The listed initiatives include the assistance of agencies to develop liaisons to the LGBTQIA+ community, advancing measures to prevent discrimination and “developing legal resources to ensure the City’s sanctuary protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals are upheld.”
The office will also provide support for “LGBTQIA+ people and their families fleeing anti-LGBTQIA+ oppression,” although it did not make clear what the alleged “oppression” could include.
