Despite differences, O’Brien wants ‘open, straightforward dialogue’ with organizations
The mayor can learn a thing or two about swagger, according to some people in the gay community.
Mayor Larry O’Brien faced the gay community Thursday night at a Pride Week town hall meeting at City Hall’s council chambers, which were decked in rainbow flags.
The large crowd fired questions at Mr. O’Brien in what they hoped would open up a new dialogue with the mayor.
Previously, Mr. O’Brien had been criticized for his lack of communication with the city’s gay, lesbian and transgender community.
