AOC outrages LGBTQ advocates over suggested post office renaming
Fox News
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., outraged LGBTQ advocates in her Queens district last week after she suggested renaming a local post office that honors a woman who co-founded the first organization for parents of gay and lesbian children in 1973 and her husband, according to reports.
Dromm, who helped get the post office named for Jeanne and Jules Manford five years ago, before Ocasio-Cortez was elected, said a name change would "erase our history."
The congresswoman had first proposed the name change after some members of the community suggested honoring the late LGBTQ advocate Lorena Borjas, Ocasio-Cortez spokesperson Lauren Hitt told the Daily News. Borjas died in 2020. Her office has started taking suggestions for a potential name change. Hitt said it’s normal for members of Congress to consider new names for post offices.
