I agree and thanks for bringing up that point. I think it's super admirable that he's done so much for the LGBT community. I don't know him personally either so can't speak of how open he is, but I know plenty of other proud and open LGBT individuals who find it frustrating when they're constantly being referred to as that "gay teacher"/"lesbian doctor"/"trans engineer" by straight people as if they're somehow different than teachers/doctors/engineers

No because the article literally says he think it's because he filmed anti-LGBT bigots protesting against drag. You obviously don't care about rhetoric but heads up, it's unnecessary and problematic, to refer to him as the Gay NYC Councilman as if he's not a NYC Councilman

It means that he's a NYC Councilman, so what's the fucking point of literally highlight that he's gay in the headlines? Shouldn't matter that he's gay, he was harassed period. Not sure why you're all up in arms about it
