“Garden State Equality could not agree more with the Star Ledger in calling for Steve Lonegan to quit the race for Congress due to his past use of an anti-gay slur. This hateful comment, in addition to his extremist views, use of threats, and biased record against gay rights, is all the proof voters need of Longan’s inadequacy. We’ve already seen what it’s like when someone explosive and quick-tempered is put in a position of power. Garden State Equality stands with NJ.com in the call for Steve Lonegan to step down from the race for Congress.” -Christian Fuscarino, Executive Director, Garden State Equality
