LGBT Labour member becomes mayor of Camden
LGBT Labour member, Cllr Jonathan Simpson, has become the new mayor of Camden. Jonathan is the first openly gay mayor of the borough.
As his mayoress he has picked writer, broadcaster and hostess of Duckie, Amy Lame. Amy is also a long-standing friend and supporter of LGBT Labour. Amy said: "I nearly fainted when Jonathan asked me to be his Mayoress. It will be an absolute honour. We’ve been friends for 15 years. All my early clubbing days were in Camden Town – most of all the Black Cap."
At the mayor-making Jonathan said: "It is a fantastic honour to be the Mayor of Camden. I’ve been proud to represent the council since 2002, and now I intend to use this special year to do all I can to promote the borough’s incredible music and to encourage everybody to be active as citizens."
