At the event, Queens Borough President Katz, Council Member Dromm and other elected officials highlighted the many contributions Amin and Monaco–both of whom are openly gay–have made to the LGBT rights movement in the Borough of Queens.

“Mohamed Amin and Justin Monaco have done much to advance the LGBT rights movement in their own unique and special ways,” said Council Member Dromm, the first openly-gay elected official in the Borough of Queens. “I was thrilled to join Queens Borough President Katz and community leaders in honoring their inspiring work and celebrating LGBT Pride with them.”
