Golden aims ‘Martian’ barb at Gounardes at Bay Ridge debate
Gounardes wasn't sure if insult was aimed at him or the gender issue
State Sen. Marty Golden (R-Southern Brooklyn) exclaimed, “I feel like I’m dealing with a Martian from Mars here,” in a debate with Democratic challenger Andrew Gounardes at Xaverian High School in Bay Ridge on Tuesday night.
While they disagreed on almost every issue they discussed, this particular remark came after Gounardes said he supported a new city law adding a third-gender option on birth certificates, according to the Daily News.
“Ladies and gentlemen, male-female. Birth certificate … Very simple,” said Golden.
