Tiffany Caban, et al.: Out of the Socialist-LGBTQ Closet
The Democratic Socialists of America are exultant. The LGBTQ Rainbow Mafia are jubilant. The New York Times and its “progressive” media comrades are triumphant. Prostitutes, pimps, and johns are exuberant. Communist Party activists at the online People’s World are ebullient. What is the cause of this ecstatic reaction among the partisans of the ultra-Left, the kinky-Left, and the ultra-kinky-hyper-Left?
Well, of course, it’s the announced stunning election victory of Tiffany Cabán (shown) for New York City’s hotly contested Democratic primary race for district attorney of Queens. Cabán, who identifies as a “Queer Latina” and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), is to the left of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was her most high-profile endorser and promoter. And she defeated Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, who boasted not only the support of the NYC Democratic machine, but also the endorsements of Governor Andrew Cuomo and most of the other state Democrat powerbrokers. Katz has not conceded, and with only about 1,000 votes separating them (and with several thousand uncounted mail-in ballots), is calling for an official recount. Most analysts seem to think it will go in Cabán’s favor.
Here’s how New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay described the Cabán victory celebration in a Times op-ed on June 26: “It was election night at La Boom, a Queens nightclub, and Tiffany Cabán’s supporters had something to say. ‘Black Lives Matter!’ they shouted, an extraordinary cry at the victory party for a district attorney candidate. ‘Black Lives Matter!’”
