The New York City Council LGBT Caucus is a caucus of LGBT members of the New York City Council. The Caucus's stated purpose is "to advance the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) individuals through education, legislation, public policy changes and advocacy" and "to increase the visibility of LGBT New Yorkers through events, forums and media outreach." The Caucus has grown from membership of as low as two members in 2005 to seven as of 2017. Former speakers Corey Johnson and Christine Quinn were members of the caucus. David Carr became the first gay Republican elected to the council in 2021.
