After the Chicago Police Department’s official Twitter account “liked” an anti-trans post on the platform, Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Friday said the city “will not tolerate any form of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric” and the person responsible should be held accountable.
“We are an inclusive city, and we must ensure that all of our residents are treated with dignity and respect,” Chicago’s first openly gay mayor tweeted, adding that she has directed interim Police Supt. Eric Carter “to conduct a robust investigation to identify the person responsible and hold them accountable.”
