Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs ($87M)

Office created early term; Taylor Brown named first director (first openly trans person to lead a NYC office). $87M operating budget pledge in campaign. Truthout (May 12+): "Mamdani Unveils LGBTQ Office as $65 Million Pledge Remains Uncertain" — the related $65M gender-affirming care line is BROKEN in FY27, and the $87M LGBTQIA+ Affairs operating allocation is "under scrutiny." Office exists, leadership in place; full $87M not yet verified in FY27 budget — open question.
