Marty is king of queens as Beep secures big bucks for gay center
The Brooklyn Paper
by Will Yackowicz
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz has secured $2 million in funding for a permanent Brooklyn Community Pride Center — but certain buildings are off-limits to Brooklyn's LGBT community.
It’s the latest effort by Markowitz to secure a home for Brooklyn’s gay community — the largest in the five boroughs. Two years ago, Markowitz helped negotiate a deal that would’ve put the community center in a Bruce Ratner-owned building Downtown, but the deal unraveled over the gay community’s opposition to Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project.
