The Cost of Intersectionality

As the City of New York is poised to elect an avowed extremist and Hamas apologist, the American people look on in horror. As the only national LGBT organization to condemn Queers for Palestine, Log Cabin stands with Israel and the Jewish people.

We will break down what’s at stake for New York City, our country, and the world.
