NY leaders launch ‘love’ campaign after hate crimes

By musiclover - Thu Oct 14, 3:47 pm

After a string of gay-bashing incidents and outbreaks of ethnic tension in New York, the city has a simple message: ” Love Love. Hate Hate.”

Mayor Michael Bloomberg and city council speaker Christine Quinn, who is a lesbian, unveiled the slogan Thursday, saying the Big Apple’s traditional tolerance was at risk.

“In the past weeks and months there have been multiple bias attacks and deaths as a result throughout New York and the country,” Quinn said. “We need to continue our message of acceptance and love for all New Yorkers.”
