Farah Nousheen's full quote: "I am seeing a lot of posts about the first Muslim mayor of NYC and other posts by progressives who are excited to have a pro-working class and pro-Palestine mayor. But I want to point out something that people may not be seeing: Zohran is a *Progressive Muslim*! As a progressive Muslim, without hesitation, he is able to navigate and advocate for LGBTQIA+ full equality, humanity and he is also planning to allocate funds for healthcare for trans folx. Zohran naturally spoke at the queer Muslim prayer gathering in NYC. He was endorsed by trans leaders such as Laverne Cox and Indya Moore. To quote June Jordan (1936-2002): "There are two issues of our time, really, that I think amount to a litmus test for morality as far as I'm concerned. One is what you're prepared to do on behalf of the Palestinian people. And the other is what are you prepared to do on behalf of gay and lesbian peoples." Zohran Mamdani passes both litmus tests. LISTEN: you cannot be pro-Palestine, and not speak up for queer and trans humanity. And you cannot be pro-LGBTQIA+ and ignore the genocide in Palestine." #mamdani #newyork #politics
