“As former head of the Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project and as the council member for the West Side district where many of these (false prostitution) arrests took place, Christine Quinn should have called for an end to these arrests when they were first reported, in October 2008.  Instead, she was virtually silent until February 2009, when activists threatened to hold a protest at the Mayor’s House, a move that would embarrass Quinn and the Mayor.  It was her desire to prevent this protest, not her concern for the victims, that drove Quinn to call a meeting with representatives from the gay community –  a meeting that clearly did not solve the problems.”
