New York City now officially recognizes LGBTQ businesses as minority-owned enterprises
LGBTQ Nation ^ | January 24, 2021 | Juwan J. Holmes

This week, New York City announced that it was officially recognizing businesses owned by LGBTQ people as part of their minority & women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) programs.

The decision will allow LGBTQ business owners of all sizes to access billions of dollars in city contracts, contract procurements and opportunities, in addition to accessing priceless resources for historically-disadvantaged enterprises in the Big Apple.

The agreement was struck between New York City’s Department of Small Business Services (SBS) agency and the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NLGCC), and it will allow NLGCC-certified business operators to receive official recognition for their MWBE.

What if I’m a transtransgender? A man identifying as a woman who identifies as a man? I’d be like a super-minority, right? And, I would essentially be a man identifying as a man. I can handle that.

Then Trump supporters should be an official minority.

Pretty much. But with fun, new PCer terms. And if one doesn’t like it, he, she, or it is a transtransphobic bigot.

Isn't this telling LGBTQ people that they're unequal to straight people and that they can't be successful on their own?

How do they explain the "success" of LGBTQ people like Oprah and Barack Obama?

Anyone can claim to be transgender now and be a minority owned business.

You think you're being cute, but that's something you really don't want to try. A real life example would be this thing ...

That is a genetic male who veritably identifies as a lesbian. He's even married to a generic woman who also identifies as a lesbian (and not the hot pr0n kind).

Just say you do.

Self identify as whatever the flavor of the month is.

Problem solved!

This is so gay.

Unconstitutional, too. Equal protection under the law?

In NYC, the LGBTs are a large and important voting group.

Expect San Francisco to copy this.

Since a white gay man can get minority-owned enterprise status, can a White male Christian get minority-owned status in New York City?

Christians are a minority in New York City now.

“...businesses owned by LGBTQ people as part of their minority & women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) programs.”


So, let me see. Businesses owned by women, minorities and LGBTQ etc. get special benefits. Who does that leave out? Normal white men. Seems fair.
