At councilwoman’s event to condemn derogatory comments, speaker calls mayor homophobic slur
Updated Mar 01, 2021;
The event was supposed to address past comments one member of council used against another.
And the speakers mainly did that this past Friday, on the steps of City Hall in Trenton, speaking in support of City Council President Kathy McBride. Last week, fellow council member Jerell Blakeley publicly apologized for calling her an “illiterate crackhead prostitute” last year, after news of the comment surfaced in local media reports.
But the second speaker at the Friday event, Divine Allah, teed off on Mayor Reed Gusciora, describing him as “this white boy mayor, this little f -.” Gusciora is the city’s first openly gay mayor.
