Women who observed public modesty, Muslim women in particular, have been left out by public physical fitness settings. The fitness places aren’t designed to help them maintain their privacy, modest dressing and single gender interactions. Yet, like men, many of the health-related issues these women deal with can be minimized by regular physical activities, as physical fitness enhances the quality of life for both sexes. For example, Aisha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad once said, “I raced with the Prophet (PBUH) and beat him in the race. Later, when I had put on some weight, we raced again and he won.” So, if there were physical fitness centers/gyms designed to accommodate the privacy need of women who observe public modesty, would you be more willing to use them or for husbands, would you be more willing to encourage your wives/daughters to use them?

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who represents Congressional District 14th has gained national and international media publicity for not only defeating a formidable opponent but also for her aggressive push of progressive agenda in Congress. Yet some of her Bronx constituents have complaint about her lack of Congressional Office in the Bronx, among others. Do you think she deserved to be primaried by the Democratic Counties Committees in Queens and the Bronx?

TODAY, February 12th, Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer was joined by members of the NYC Council LGBT and Progressive Caucuses, members of the LGBTQ community, and progressive groups to denounce homophobia and to reiterate calls for Council Member Ruben Diaz Sr. to resign. “Council Member Ruben Diaz Sr. must resign. I do not want an apology. We are past time for apologies. Words have consequences. And Council Member Diaz’s words happen to be part of a long history of homophobia and disgusting attacks on the LGBTQ community. The NYC Council cannot tolerate elected officials who use their power and authority to demonize, hurt, and incite violence against marginalized people,” said Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer. “I am proud to have led this effort because I have an obligation as a gay man to speak up for my community and to protect and save the lives of LGBTQ youth. I call on Council Member Diaz to resign, not because I want to stifle his free speech or religious beliefs, but because I know all too well how homophobic smears like this are detrimental to the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ youth. Our community has been fighting for a seat at the table for generations. Now that we have rightly claimed our seats at the table, it is time to close the door on bigotry and hate once and for all.” *** Based on the LGBTQ Caucus of New York City Council's call for the resignation of Councilman, Reverend Ruben Diaz Sr, do you agree for Diaz to resign?
