Only one LGBT bill has been introduced at City Hall since Quinn became Speaker in 2006. Instead of advocating for meaningful legislation to protect LGBT youth, Quinn pushed a bill through the Council that requires the City Clerk to tell LGBT couples registering as domestic partners where they can get married. Quinn did not support or schedule a hearing for the bill that would create a LGBT youth services division within the Dept of Health, even though “This is a bill that would deal with a lot of everyday issues that LGBT youth face.”
