Almost immediately after Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado posted his gubernatorial campaign launch video on social media, endorsements came pouring in. Not for him, though. Instead, Democratic elected officials raced to support Gov. Kathy Hochul, his boss and the incumbent he’s now trying to unseat. Delgado has been laying the groundwork for his expected run for governor for several months, at least since February when he announced he would not be on Hochul’s ticket next year as her lieutenant governor.

1 week ago | cityandstateny.com | Rebecca C. Lewis

Recently, a 16-year-old teen in Utica came out to their parents, a decision that resulted in the teen losing their home after their parents kicked them out. Couchsurfing and hitchhiking for newly homeless LGBTQ+ kids is not uncommon, but in a blue state like New York, one might think they’d have access to more support than those from deep red parts of the country.
