Christine Quinn Cancels Fire Island Fundraisers ; Activists Cancel Protests

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT QUINN HAS CANCELLED all three of her Fire Island fundraisers on Saturday, claiming that she has to be in Washington D.C. for a march commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" speech. Quinn has known about that march for a long time, and she could have easily flown back to Long Island from Washington in time for her afternoon fundraisers. Having an out-of-town conflict must be the best excuse she could find to cancel all of her Fire Island events.

Of course, we know the truth --- Quinn cancelled because she would have been humiliated by the day of protests, and she does not want NYers to know that she is being rejected by people in her own community. Because her events are cancelled, we are canceling the trip to Fire Island. Again, thanks to everybody for supporting our efforts.

Christine Quinn Dream Nightmare

Christine Quinn's ''Dream'' Fundraiser Turns into ''Nightmare'' as Her Personal Assistant Screams the F-Bomb to St. Vincent's Protesters.

LGBTQ activists, Health care activists, government transparency activists, public official integrity activists, and animal rights activists held a flashmob protest outside City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's fundraiser at Dream nightclub tonight in Chelsea.

Many LGBTQ activists and allies joined the emergency protest organised outside Speaker Quinn's fundraiser. Many LGBTQ activists said they believe that Speaker Quinn should have started fighting for marriage equality in 2005, back when Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered the appeal of a landmark gay marriage ruling. In all her time in public office, Speaker Quinn has subjugated herself to the misogynist domination of Mayor Bloomberg.

Still yet other protesters held up signs as a reminder to the U.S. Justice Department that nobody has yet to be indicted in Speaker Quinn's office for her role in the City Council slush fund scandal.

Community activists, who support the opening of a full-service hospital with Level 1 Trauma Center held up a banner, shaming Christine Quinn's ''do nothing'' record on saving St. Vincent's Hospital. The banner attracted hate speech from one of Speaker Quinn's highly-paid staff members, as indicated below :
