NEW YORK -- Melissa Etheridge says the star-studded Love Rocks NYC benefit, the annual concert for the nonprofit God’s Love We Deliver, is exactly the kind of fundraiser she wanted to join.“I’ve wanted to be involved in this wonderful, wonderful project that has just done so much for so many for so many years,” the Grammy-winning “I’m the Only One” rocker said.This year’s Love Rocks, which takes place at The Beacon Theatre in Manhattan on Thursday night, boasts enormous star power – including headliners Etheridge, Keith Richards, with his “other” band The X-Pensive Winos, Mavis Staples, and others, as well as hosts including Kiefer Sutherland and Mario Cantone. But for Karen Pearl, God’s Love We Deliver’s president and CEO, what this one night generates for her group year-round is what makes it even more special.After two years of audiences limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s event is back at full force.
NYC mayor taps anti-LGBTQ pastors for city posts
19.02.2022 - 01:03 / metroweekly.com
New York Daily News. Salgado has long espoused anti-LGBTQ views, including criticizing “mortal sins” like abortion and homosexuality, during a 2013 run for mayor.
That year, he was endorsed by the National Organization for Marriage, which fights to make same-sex nuptials illegal. Two years prior, Salgado organized a march in the Bronx to protest the pending passage of New York’s marriage equality law.In 2013, Salgado blasted the city’s Parks Department for erecting statues in the Sheepshead Bay Holocaust Memorial Park in honor of non-Jewish victims of the Nazis, including homosexuals and political prisoners.
He claimed in a press release that it was inappropriate to build “controversial” statues, calling them “a betrayal of the community and even worse, disrespectful to the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust.”“I am proud to serve in this administration under the leadership of Mayor Adams and share his long-held values of tolerance and inclusion,” Salgado said in a written statement put out by the mayor’s press office. “My views have evolved as society has evolved.
As MOIA assistant commissioner, my mission will be to lift up immigrant communities across our city, including LGBTQ+ immigrants, who often face barriers to accessing needed services.”Adams also seems intent on naming former Councilman Fernando Cabrera (D), a pastor from the Bronx, to some position in city government. Initially, he had floated Cabrera’s name to lead the Mayor’s Office of Community Mental Health, the city’s top mental health agency, which has an annual budget of more than $300 million.
