    Something that should get more attention, I think: Fernando Cabrera made an arrangement to have the site of his church, on Morris Avenue and East 196th Street, developed as housing, with the church continuing to operate on the first floor. Great opportunity to create some affordable housing in a district in great need of it, no? But instead, the church’s property will be developed as luxury apartments, with rents over $2000.

    With few exceptions, I’ve always exercised my right to vote. And Tuesday I’d have voted like I’ve always voted when I had little to no info about the candidates.

    Predictably, I’d have voted for incumbent – Cabrera

    Predictably, I’d have NOT voted for the fellow running “negative” ads – Abreu

    You’d have been doubly certain I’d voting for Cabrera come Tuesday. Then this happened.

    From this article I learned about Cabrera’s stance on the gays. I looked further and was stunned to find Cabrera in a YouTube video remarking favorably on Uganda and how they treat the gays and how they handle HIV/AIDS.

    Stunned because Uganda is among the most homophobic govts in the world with laws or promises of same to arrest, prosecute and lock up all the gays.

    Fernando Cabrera doesn’t have my vote!
