Let’s be blunt. San Jose City Council Candidate Steve Brown is a hate-filled bigot who believes that LGBTQ people are second-class citizens. He sees nothing wrong with businesses refusing to serve individuals they suspect of being LGBTQ. He also opposes marriage equality.
“Steve Brown’s homophobic views perpetuate a cycle of oppression and fear that cannot be tolerated,” said Ben Field, Executive Officer of the South Bay Labor Council. “Brown rejects the Labor movement’s positive agenda of social justice, inclusion and equality. We cannot afford to have Steve Brown on our City Council.”
Brown’s endorsers, including former Mayor Chuck Reed, Santa Clara County Republican Party, San Jose/Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, Santa Clara County Association of Realtors, San Jose City Councilmember Johnny Khamis, and Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility should be ashamed of Brown’s bigotry and ought to rescind their endorsements immediately.
