Facing Calls to Resign, Gov. Cuomo Removed From LGBTQ+ Gala March 03 2021 5:24 PM EST
The LGBT Bar Association of New York, an organization that advocates for legislative policies and offers legal services to the community, dropped Gov. Andrew Cuomo from its recent virtual gala amid deepening crises for the Democratic governor.
Cuomo is now accused by three women, including former staffers, of directing inappropriate sexual comments toward them. Before the harassment acusations dominated the news cycle, Cuomo was caught in another scandal, this time involving his handling of nursing homes during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of last week, Cuomo was set to receive the Community Vision Award from the bar association, which is also known as LeGal. The award honored Cuomo s repeal of a law known as the walking while trans ban as well as the governor s signing of gender identity protections and a ban on so-called conversion therapy.
