Mayor Eric Adams was booed and jeered at a Brooklyn Pride parade Saturday night, as many in the city’s gay community continue to take issue with his appointments of ministers with histories of homophobic remarks .
Some parade-goers yelled “f–k you” at the Democrat as he marched through Park Slope amid a steady stream of Bronx cheers.
“Shame on Salgado! Shame on Adams!” shouted a heckler, referring to the mayor’s controversial appointee Rev. Erick Salgado.
“Mayor Adams has supported two homophobic pastors that he has representing him who have made transphobic comments and made the city a less welcoming place,” the heckler told The Post.
“He appoints homophobic people into positions of power and I’m sorry we are in the 21st century and that is not OK,” said a woman named Liv.
“I just can’t believe he’s here. It’s really upsetting,” she said. “He needs to do better. He shows up to Pride and then appoints people who literally don’t believe in gay marriage. Why would you do that?” Thousands marched at the annual Brooklyn PRIDE Parade in Park Slope today, including NYC mayor Eric Adams. One disgruntled New Yorker even threw an empty water bottle at Hizzoner, according to footage from City and State .
Adams, 61, seemed unfazed by the jeers, even telling The Post that middle fingers directed to him from revelers were actually a form of affection. “See that’s love there,” he said, laughing and pointing to two women who flipped him the bird.
“To the 10 to 20,000 people out here that love me and know that I’ve been a hard fighter and the three people that don’t, what are you going to say? This is New York. It’s part of the love you have,” the mayor said, while smiling.Adams did also receive cheers from many in the crowd and stopped […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
