Christine Quinn 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 of assembly is vitally important to the LGBT community and is a constitutional right that helped put her into power in the first place.

“Multiple courts have ruled that the City’s assembly rules were unconstitutional.  But instead of conducting public hearings and placing the matter into the hands of the City Council, Speaker Quinn allowed the NYPC to write these rules behind closed doors and then proceeded to rubber stamp them.”

“Why did these homosexuals interrupt the homosexual Speaker while she was addressing her core homosexual constituency?  Because Quinn was the civilian agent for a secretly-negotiated agreement (there were no public hearings) with the NYPD which gives the police full authority to restrict public assembly and public speech. . . This policy was never submitted to the Council for consideration; no statute supports this agreement and practice; it is the creation of the Speaker herself.”
