The first openly nonbinary lawmaker in Massachusetts history is taking a leave of absence after they allegedly dealt with transphobia from colleagues, including Worcester's mayor.
Thu Nguyen, who has served as an at-large councilor since 2022, says their "hiatus" is to prioritize their mental health and emotional safety after they were allegedly subjected to a discriminatory and toxic culture on the Worcester City Council. Nguyen also said this month off will be to forge a path to address this support, asking for support in holding Worcester to a moral and legal standard "that feels like the bare minimum."
"We deserve a government that is welcoming, embraces and takes pride in our LGBTQ+ community. As the first nonbinary elected in Massachusetts, I have always said for me it's not just about identity politics. Making history as the first is one thing, what you do with it is another," Nguyen wrote in a public statement. "I hope by speaking up against transphobia and hate, many of you will join me in pushing for a political reimagination of a government that holistically cares and serves everyone which rightfully includes the LGBTQ+ community."
Nguyen has filed a complaint and formally requested the city's chief equity officer open an immediate investigation and create an action plan to address this matter.
