Daniel Peckham: See his letter below exposing the real Christine Quinn not a housing advocate or a true supporter of Gay Rights...read Donny Moss's letter and the photo was sent to me by Donny as well.

To HRC:

In response to your email below:

I am a gay rent stabilized tenant in NYC who is being harassed out of my home with the help of Speaker Quinn. I have all the evidence. I have never done anything wrong and always paid my rent on time despite being disabled and on a tight budget. I have fought all the way to the Court of Appeals where the seven judges all voted against me and fined me $4,300 for court costs of the Landlord. The NYState Court of Appeals made an innocent disabled person homeless and fined $4300 for fighting the corruption.

Quinn proclaimed not one tenant will be lost in her Speech to the West Side Tenants at Fordham Univ. The tenants in my building went to her for help and because she refused they gave up and lost their homes taking a buyout they didn't want. I told Quinn in person at Harmony House when she spoke about the Westside rail yards. She promised to help in front of the crowd. She had an aide take my number and said they would call the next day. No one did. When I called them they gave me the run around.

I went to a hearing about the DOB and told of the corruption. I was rushed off camera and promised help by Quinn's special assistant Josh Loving Aaronson. I asked if he really would help and he swore to me he would. He did nothing. When I called Quinn's office I got the run around.

We had a meeting at Quinn's office after my Landlord was found guilty of harassment in the building next door. It was our second meeting with ADA Kaufman from Manhattan District Attorney's office. The Landlord had removed the deadbolt lock from one of the tenants at 3:00AM in the morning. The ADA Kaufman said he would start a case against the Landlord and told me to get all my harassing emails together which I did. It was very harassing and took over ten hours. When I got back to ADA Kaufman he didn't return my calls or my emails. Quinn's office I got the run around.

Tom Duane had his picture taken in front of my building citing the city agencies responsible for removing tenants illegally. After Duane had a meeting with the Landlord and stopped his help.

All the tenant activists know about Quinn selling out to the Landlords. Your support of her diminishes all gay people and HRC.

Dear Mr. Hayes:

Given Christine Quinn's appalling record on LGBT issues since becoming Speaker in 2006, why would Humane Rights Campaign invite her to speak to the community on this topic?

Is Christine Quinn going to address the fact that she was virtually silent when middle-aged gay men in Chelsea were being falsely arrested for prostitution? She only called a meeting when the victims threatened to hold a protest at the Mayor's house. And she didn't even bother to show up. Why didn't she help? It was more politically expedient for her to ignore the gay victims than to speak out against the NYPD's vice squad. This was an alarming weak response from someone who is gay, former head of the Anti-Violence Project and Speaker of the City Council.

Is Christine Quinn going to explain why she rubber stamped an NYPD rule (with no public debate) making it illegal for groups of 50 or more to assemble in public without a permit? Freedom on assembly is vitally important to the LGBT community and is a constitutional right that helped put her into power in the first place.

Did you know that not even one LGBT bill has been introduced at City Hall since Quinn became Speaker?

As you will see in the fact sheet below created by the NY Association for Gender Rights Advocacy, Christine Quinn has turned her back on the LGBT community time and again to advance her political career, which is one of the reasons why many of us have and will continue to protest Quinn at her public appearances.

At her fundraisers where she has been met with protests, Quinn has acknowledged that she has made mistakes and has said she is glad she can always rely on the gay community for support. Based on her slim victory in the recent Democratic primary, her support in the LGBT community is quickly eroding.

On behalf of the many LGBT New Yorkers who have come together over the past few months to expose the truth about Christine Quinn, I hope HRC will, in the future, partner with leaders who have not betrayed the LGBT community.

Sincerely,

Donny Moss

Talkin' Q Politics with Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn Tuesday, September 29 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. THERAPY 348 W. 52nd St. (between 8th and 9th Aves.) New York, NY 10019 Join the HRC New York Steering Committee and NYC Council Speaker Quinn to have a discussion on current LGBT issues in New York City. Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn In January 2006, Council Members overwhelmingly chose Christine C. Quinn as Council Speaker. As the first woman, openly gay and Irish Speaker, she brings a new perspective to the diverse challenges facing each of New York's distinct communities. She has established herself as a champion for working families, fighting for policies and services that are critical to the lives of real New Yorkers. She has worked to make the Council more responsive to the needs of all New Yorkers, and dramatically increased transparency and accountability. Quinn has developed a reputation for finding innovative solutions, and furthering policies that are both creative and fiscally responsible. In the past three years, Speaker Quinn has taken on a wide range of issues, including equality and civil rights, housing, education, seniors, environment, small business, health, food and nutrition. Since 1999, Quinn has served as the representative for the 3rd Council District of Manhattan. She and her partner, Kim Catullo, live in Chelsea. P.S. The fight in Maine continues and HRC has had a field organizer on the ground since January, with other significant HRC staff and financial support since then, and we continue to work hard to raise much needed funds. HRC has created theHRC Maine Marriage PAC . Our side is often outspent, and we need everyone's help to close the gap on fundraising. Even if it is $5, $10, $100, or even up to $1,000 it all makes a difference. Donate to the HRC Maine Marriage PAC today! There is a NYC fundraiser for Maine on Thursday, October 1 in Manhattan that begins at 6:30 p.m. For details, e-mail Regional Field Organizer Anthony Hayes at Anthony.Hayes@HRC.org.

Watch Christine Quinn and her supporters attempt to pass herself off as Jane Jacobs. Benjamin Lesser of The New York Daily News exposed the harsh reality of the fact Quinn takes money from developers and her relation with Dermott is scandalous sponsoring them for millions, getting campaign contributions in return and the project never happened.
