I did not know though that one was an outspoken homosexual man who waged a video campaign again Bush during his short-circuited primary campaing. I am disgusted that Brian Ellner, of all people, is stumping for Bloomberg.

How can you support a guy that has given millions of dollars to the Republican party, the same party that divided this country over the issue of gay marriage; the same party that you so gleefully lambasted on an a very gay-centric ad?

I am sorry Ellner but you are an embarrasement to the New York City GLTB communities. And, by the by, that goes to your sister in arms, Margarita Lopez. The two of you ought to hang your heads in shame. As Gay City News succinctly stated in their endorsement of Ferrer; they're not one of those newspapers that follow opinion polls and jump into any bandwagons and it's all for a reason:

Michael Bloomberg Really Is a Republican Many Democratic stalwarts have reconciled themselves to the potential for a second Bloomberg term by reasoning the mayor really isn’t a Republican. Don’t you believe them. In the past four years, according to The Times, Bloomberg has given more than $400,000 to Republican committees in Albany and Washington, made individual donations to President George W. Bush and two supporters of the anti-gay federal marriage amendment—Senator Richard Shelby and Representative Hal Rogers—and funded the 2004 Republican National Convention to the tune of $5 million.

Bloomberg’s greatest water carrying, however, came the last day of the convention, with the president in town to speak, when he defied a court order that found that at least 600 protesters had been held illegally—and off the streets—for inappropriately long periods of time, as the national news media focused on Republican unity.

November 8 provides the only opportunity to respond to that sort of leadership in New York, and is an ideal time for the LGBT community to stand up uncompromisingly for our rights. The only choice is Democrat Fernando Ferrer.
