It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
"We need joy!" The fabulous RuPaul tells us why his wild new comedy ‘Stop! That! Train!' is the perfect antidote to what's happening in the world right now!
Disease is one of Gaga’s best-A metaphor for fighting with yourself about your own problems and it’s difficult. It was released when our country needed to be rescued. It doesn’t always work and that sucks. Our current president is now our disease. We have to cure our country.
In the aftermath of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Barney Frank was the gravelly-voiced, smart-as-a-whip congressman who fought hard to get the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over the finish line.
His one-liners were wicked and wickedly funny.
Barney delivered for working people, and the world is a poorer place without him.
I was proud to call Barney Frank a friend. He was a trailblazer, a brilliant legislator, and a champion for American consumers.
I'll miss his humor, his courage, and his heart, and my thoughts today are with his friends and loved ones.
Mr. @USHouseFSC Chairman, thank you.
Thank you for your service to our Commonwealth.
Thank you for your relentless advocacy for consumers.
Thank you for showing up as your full self—and creating permission for others to do the same.
May you rest in peace and power.
Sad to learn Barney Frank has died. Brilliant, witty & incisive, he was a model of pragmatic progressivism. A master legislator, he focused on getting stuff done and
wielded wit as a rapier.
I had a wonderful conversation w/him a few years ago, including a moving discussion about his painful years as a closeted gay man in politics in an earlier time.
May his memory be a blessing.

Congressman Frank was kind to me my entire career. We spoke last week -- he was as sharp as ever and wished me well.
We've lost a trailblazer who fought everyday to make lives better. What a loss -- and what a life.
When I represented Massachusetts’ 4th District, I had extraordinarily big shoes to fill.
Barney Frank was fearless, brilliant, and one of the great public servants of our time. He reminded us that politics is ultimately about what we owe one another — and he said it better than anyone: “Government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together.”
Grateful for his leadership, his example, and his lasting legacy.
Sending prayers to his husband, Jim.
Seeing coverage of Congress as a young man in Indiana, I remember watching Barney Frank run circles around bad-faith arguments with his formidable intellect and unique political style.
Years later, I’m not sure I would have had the chance to serve if Barney Frank hadn’t demonstrated that courage, commitment, and skill can matter more than others’ imagination about what voters are “ready” for.
He will be missed, and remembered, for generations.
