The speaker of the New York City Council is demanding an apology from a council member who said the legislative body is “controlled by the homosexual community.”
A spokesman for Speaker Corey Johnson issued a statement Friday saying comments by Ruben Diaz Sr. “have no place in New York City” and the Bronx Democrat should apologize to his colleagues and the LGBTQ community.
In a Spanish-language radio program, Diaz, who is a Pentecostal minister, said the homosexual community controls most of the 51 council members. Diaz, 75, a Puerto Rican-born politician who opposes same-sex marriage, called Johnson a “homosexual married to another man.” The speaker is openly gay and single.
Diaz is the father of Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
The younger Diaz took to social media Saturday night advocating for unity and calling his father’s statement “unnecessary.”
“NYC is a place where we celebrate our diversity and inclusivity,” Diaz Jr. wrote on Twitter. “The LGBTQ community is unequivocally an essential voice in our City. @revrubendiaz’s sentiments are antagonistic, quarrelsome and wholly unnecessary. He should apologize.”

A Conservative councilman, per the Daily News. Because they must always hide the truth.
