Curtis Bashaw faced criticism from Garden State Equality for his anti-trans comments, which contradicted the endorsement they gave to his opponent, Andrew Kim.
Bashaw's spokesperson claimed the endorsement was based on "partisan politics," arguing a historic opportunity was missed despite Bashaw's anti-trans views.
Garden State Equality's chair emphasized that while Bashaw's potential election is historic, it didn't meet their pro-equality criteria after reviewing his responses.
The chair highlighted that representation can't overshadow the need for leaders who prioritize the safety and well-being of the LGBTQ+ community.
