Yesterday the The Trentonian reported on anti-LGBTQ attacks from Trenton Councilwoman Robin Vaughn against openly gay Mayor Reed Gusciora and his colleague Councilman Joe Harrison. Following a conversation with Mayor Gusciora, Garden State Equality’s Executive Director Christian Fuscarino has released the following statement:

“Councilwoman Vaughn is unfit to serve the people of Trenton. There’s no need to parse words here: for her hateful anti-LGBTQ language and defending the anti-Semitic slurs of others, she must resign. Her words are an attack on the diversity of Trenton’s community, the city’s elected leadership, and our state as a whole. Any decent-minded New Jerseyan who believes in the success and future of our state’s capital should denounce this hateful rhetoric and call for her to step down immediately.”
