State Senator Rob Ortt has been under pressure in recent weeks from local public officials in North Tonawanda over his position on the LGBTQ+ community.

In an effort to put the issue to rest, Senator Ortt’s office released the following statement on the matter.

 

 

The statement said, “Senator Ortt supports the rights of all New Yorker’s to live their lives free of discrimination, including individuals in the LGBT community.

For the record, this statement was made on Senator Ortt’s behalf from his spokesman, Andrew Dugan.
