Dozens of LGBTQ rights activists gathered outside New York City's Chelsea Piers on Sunday holding signs like 'Transphobia is not kosher' and 'Say Gay' to protest the venue's hosting of a Jewish Leadership Conference featuring Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a guest speaker.
The governor will speak Sunday night about the vibrancy of Jewish life in Florida, and how that could translate to other communities across the country at the Tikvah Fund's Jewish Leadership Conference, which is being held at the famed Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.
'There's a Jewish Renaissance taking place in Florida, and we wanted to hear from DeSantis and what his vision for religious minorities is elsewhere in the country, and that's why we invited him,' Jonathan Silver, co-chair of the conference told Bloomberg.
But after the Tikvah Fund, a conservative Jewish organization, announced that DeSantis would speak at the event, the Jewish Museum backed out of a tentative rental agreement to host the conference, and Chelsea Piers later agreed to host the event.
Soon after, LGBTQ groups announced they would boycott the venue for hosting it near the famed Stonewall Inn - which is regarded as the birth place of the gay rights movement.
'I'm here because this is a sacred ground for human rights,' Rep. Carolyn Maloney told DailyMail.com at the protest on Sunday, noting that she stood with former President Barack Obama when he designated the Stonewall Inn a national monument.
'I will always speak out against such injustices and use my power in Congress to fight legislatively these actions,' she said of the so-called Don't Say Gay bill that DeSantis signed into law in March.
'It has no place in New York, no place near Stonewall and certainly nowhere near this Chelsea community,' Maloney continued, adding: 'It's an outrage that they came here.'

Where in the old testament or Kabbala or other writings does it say something like this ?
(edit, after searching in some ancient texts I found some references in the long banned "Book of סדום")
Aw hell, now they’re just making shit up.
I just went over The Torah and The Talmud. I did not find one reference to trans....
Merely a deflecting mechanism used by the mentally deficient to escape reality.
I’m sorry. Being afraid of someone that is totally demented about what sex they are is totally normal, not “phobic”.
How come they never talk about child-abuse-phobic or pedophobia, or anti-genital- mutilation extremists?
Hmmmm?
LMAO!
DISGUSTING!!! SINS AGAINST GOD!
Sexual perversion is not Kosher!
The guv has been very supportive of the Jewish community and they will pay him back by voting RAT...as they did Trump.
It’s in the Torah actually. Men are forbidden to wear women’s clothes and vise versa.
Thank you.
Statistics (from the government, no less) show that transgenders amount to 0.6% of the U.S. population. How are they such a huge topic of discussion nearly everywhere nearly every freaking day?
Wouldn’t
TRANSgressions and TRANSgressors count?
Sodomites and pedophiles go home (homo to you).
Without fail
Not “-phobia”... more like transtaediosus and homotaediosus.
What the hell does Stonewall have to do with transfascism and grooming children to cut off their genitals? LGB, NO “T”
It’s not a ‘phobia’ it’s just not giving credence to a psychological problem.
If someone thinks they’re napoleon it’s not helping them to pretend that they are napoleon
