ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Rochester City Councilmembers Mary Lupien, Stanley Martin, and Kim Smith share their support and condolences to the family of Sam Nordquist.
They released a statement in part stating,
“We mourn the loss of Sam Nordquist, a trans man whose life was taken in a horrific act of violence. Our hearts are with Sam’s family, friends, and loved ones. No family should have to endure such a loss—we send them our deepest condolences and unwavering support.”
The statement says that everyone deserves to live with dignity, safety, and the freedom to be themselves without fear.
“At a time when hostility toward LGBTQIA+ people is rising—as federal orders attempt to erase the word trans from the public record—we must hold firm in our commitment to fiercely defending and protecting our trans neighbors. The progress we have made was hard-won, and we will not allow it to be lost.”
Community members are encouraged to attend Sam’s vigil on Monday at 6 p.m. at Wood Library, 134 N Main St. Canandaigua.
