Bloomberg’s LGBT Supporters Should Know His Anti-Gay Record
by Allen Roskoff President of the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club
Above, conservative Gay Democrat In Name Only (GDINO) Richard So-
carides, at an otherwise delightful Garden Party for the LGBT Commu-
nity Services Center, sporting a campaign button supporting reactionary
hanging judge Leslie Crocker Snyder for District Attorney of Manhattan.

Ellner.)
W
hat I really find offensive is people calling them-
selves lifelong civil rights activists when they have
no problem supporting the re-election of Mike
Bloomberg, the Mayor who choose not to support the nation's
first African American Democratic nominee for President
against right-wing Republican John McCain who doesn’t even
want to end the ban on gays in the military.
Do these gay so-called "civil rights activists" believe
that it is acceptable to maintain that label when they look the
other way when the rights of women, LGBT people and peo-
ple of color are involved? At what point do we say, "hey, there
is a coalition of trust between the disenfranchised, and when
gay activists throw others to the wind, we lose the moral au-
thority to expect others to stand for us?" In the most crucial
presidential elections of our time in 2004 and 2008, Mike
refused to support Kerry or Obama. These men are far from
perfect, but they were infinitely preferable to Bush and Mc-
Cain on almost every issue. Bloomberg’s refusal to antago-
nize his Republican sponsors was “disgusting,” one of this
favorite words to use against others such as those trying to
extend term limits—which he did outrageously himself with
the collaboration of Speaker Christine Quinn.
Mike, who now fashions himself an Independent, grov-
eled to the Republican leaders once more this year to get on
their ballot line. And his millions of dollars in donations to
the Republicans in the New York State Senate kept their num-
bers close enough in the last election for them to win two
defectors over from the new Democratic majority and create
the chaos we now have in Albany—chaos that has stopped
marriage equality, tenant protections, and progressive taxa-
tion on millionaires and billionaires. Who benefits? Mike
Bloomberg’s wealthy and conservative friends.
As for Socarides, bashing President Obama for not mov-
ing fast enough in repealing the federal “Defense of Marriage
Act” (DOMA) and “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) is totally
legitimate, unless you are the person who ran the gay desk
for the President Clinton when he signed DOMA and DADT
into law and you remained silent as it happened. When you
are this particular person you should have the good sense to
shut up and let others speak out, unless of course you don't
think people are smart enough to notice the deceit and hypoc-
risy of the so-called gay rights leader. I am one of many who
have taken notice.
And as for Bloomberg's record in City Hall, we continue,
Mike vetoed a bill requiring City contractors to provide do-
mestic partner benefits and successfully went to court to block
it when his veto was overridden.
Mike vetoed a school anti-bullying bill and refused to
implement it when overridden. Years later, he hastily an-
nounced a limited reporting system on bullying that he touts
to the naïve as the “most comprehensive anti-bullying pro-
gram in the country.” The mere existence of the Harvey Milk
School is testament to how unsafe mainstream schools are for
LGBT youth in New York. And a whole coalition of Asian,
African American and LGBT groups just issued a scathing
report condemning Bloomberg’s anti-bullying program as
totally inadequate and useless.
Mike was allowed to speak at a New York rally for same-
sex marriage earlier this month run by Broadway Impact and
the Washington-based Human Rights Campaign (HRC) who
refused to allow African American Democratic mayoral hope-
ful Bill Thompson, our City Comptroller, speak. HRC shame-
fully took sides in our mayoral race, aiding horror show Mike
over someone who has always supported our rights.
One person surprisingly not on Mike’s LGBT list is his
right-hand woman, Speaker Christine Quinn, who obviously
didn’t have the guts to come out for him before getting past
two Democratic primary challengers. Quinn has disgrace-
"I am shocked and appalled that anyone in the LGBT
communities would endorse a Mayor who killed our
chance for legal same-sex marriage in New York City"
fully said she will not commit to supporting the nominee of
her party for mayor against Mike who she once condemned
for his vetoes of her LGBT bills.
No one who honestly compares the records of Bloomberg
and Thompson on LGBT and AIDS issues can say that
Thompson is anything but miles ahead. Mike can only get
homosexuals who are supporting him for other reasons—be-
cause they need his personal or public funding or they like his
funding the High Line and his prejudice for people who live
the high life in New York.
Bloomberg buys off people who used to trash him, like
campaign manager Howard Wolfson (never a friend to the
LGBT community), Brian Ellner, who he installed at the De-
partment of Education, and Margarita Lopez who got a hous-
ing post. He bought off non-profit groups, forcing their leaders
to testify for his despicable Quinn-aided extension of term
limits. Against yet another obscene $100 million campaign by
Mike, we can only hope that supposedly sophisticated New
Yorkers with sanity and compassion will wake up from their
thrall to Mayor Moneybags and elect someone whose top
priority is average New Yorkers and a real commitment to
LGBT rights and ending AIDS.
Veteran gay journalist Doug Ireland takes this view:
"The fact that our mayor will undoubtedly be re-elected and
that the Democratic field of his potential opponents is flawed
and uninspiring is no reason for LGBT people to drink the
Bloomberg KoolAid and thus endorse a man who has made
numerous cuts in the city's AIDS budget and is in bed with the
Republicans who have made opposition to equal rights for us
an unshakeable part of their ideology. And I can't forgive
Bloomberg for having campaigned frenetically for ultracon-
servative State Senator Frank Padavan in the closest Senate
election in New York State last year, because had the Demo-
cratic candidate won, it would 'have averted the current chaos
and maybe even led to passage of the gay marriage bill,' as my
former Village Voice colleague Wayne Barrett wrote last
week. In other words, Bloomberg's decisive support for this
brown-shirted GOP pol scuttled gay marriage.
“Some of the people on Bloomy's list of LGBT endorsers
are politically ignorant bubbleheads, but others are sophisti-
cated and ought to have known better, and one can only con-
clude that their opportunism prevailed over their judgment in
those cases. This latter group of LGBTers should know that
even if there's no palatable alternative to this mayor in the
field at the moment, you just shouldn't affirmatively endorse
someone like Bloomberg who allies themselves with evil,
which includes not only the Republican right wing but the
crooks and charlatans of the cult-like New Alliance Party
racket whose pseudo-psychological manipulations have
harmed thousands of people, so shame on them."
Veteran lesbian and AIDS activist Ann Northrop wrote
in an e-mail, “I am shocked and appalled that anyone in the
LGBT communities would endorse a Mayor who killed our
chance for legal same-sex marriage in New York City, has his
police department falsely arresting gay men, is the biggest
funder of the Republican Party nationally, bans condom dem-
onstrations in the schools (I could go on) and spends most of
his time viciously suppressing dissent of any kind.”
Andy Humm, who has been a gay activist since 1974 and
has done the Gay USA cable show for 25 years—13 of them
with Northrop—told me, “I haven’t heard from any of the
LGBT Bloomberg supporters with a defense of his record on
our issues. Half of them don’t even know how miserable his
record is and the others seem to be supporting him for other
reasons. In that case, they should put their names on his list of
supporters of the environment or elite parks or whatever else
they think he’s good on—not use their gay cred to prop him
up. He is an impediment to progress on LGBT rights and we
can’t take another four years of him. I’m proud to be working
with a firm that is helping Bill Thompson, a true friend of our
community, but I would be with Bill even if I was not.”
Doug Robinson, founder of The Out People of Color Po-
litical Action Club, (OutPOCPAC) says the following, "I find
it alarming that our mayor extended his term against the
wishes of New Yorkers and is now buying the upcoming elec-
tion. Most disturbing is the mayor buying off so called pro-
gressive leaders including some from the LGBT community.
To those who fit those shoes, we will remember you! I am in
shocked and fired up with anger. What the hell is going on

Leadership? Most of them are unemployable. In 2006,

of dollars to spend as they please. The city council is a part-
time job. It leaves plenty of time for members to make large
six-figure incomes elsewhere. “Public service” is a very good
business.

The Bloomberg Story

In 2001, the virtually unknown mega-billionaire decides
he wants to be mayor. We had just been attacked. George W.
Bush was popular. Candidate Bloomberg had the best of all
worlds: People thought he was a moderate –to- liberal Demo-
crat who was running on the Republican line for convenience.
We hadn’t yet discovered who George W. Bush and his cro-
nies really were. When Michael Bloomberg began sniffing the
Washington political winds, he announced he was an Inde-
pendent. And now he’s a Republican again, wink; wink. Don’t
be fooled a third time. Michael Bloomberg got his start with
Solomon Brothers. He isn’t in your face Rudy Giuliani. He

Check their pockets for your tax dollars

The Chancellor and the Mayor will not
stop until public schools are all charters. Keep
in mind that charter schools are publicly
funded and proponents are hell-bent on elim-
inating unions. The Mayor constantly threat-
ens that the loss of mayoral control will drag
us back to the “old days of corruption”. Cor-
ruption has assumed a new face in charter
schools. Laid off? In need of cash to buy a
yacht or an around the world cruise? Open a
charter!
Charter Schools
Eva Moskowitz may have captured some
headlines with her $350,000 annual salary for
running a charter, but she isn’t the only one.
Mimi Corcoran headed the publicly
funded Beginning with Children Foundation
which provides management services (hiring
staff and fiscal management) to two Brooklyn
charters. In 2005-06 she “earned” $277,000
and in 2006-07, $689,000.
The Family Life Academy Char ter
School is paying $400,000 to lease space to
the Latino Pastoral Action Center (LPAC), a
building owned by its founder. LPAC's direc-
tor, the Rev. Raymond Rivera, a Board mem-
ber, and his wife, Marilyn Calo, is the princi-
pal. The wife of trustee Francisco Lugovina's,
Noemi Santana, has earned $55,000 as a paid
consultant to set up a fund raising operation
to the school through her firm, Tana Com-
munications. Guess that makes “Family” a
well earned title.
Take a look at the So. Bronx Charter
School for International Cultures & the Arts.
Richard Izquierdo Arroyo, who served as
chairman of the charter school's 9 member
board, was indicted by the US Attorney's Of-
fice for allegedly swiping more than $200,000
from a housing nonprofit he headed. Marga-
rita Villegas, another board member who was
indicted with Arroyo, also stepped down. Ar-
royo put in Evelyn Hey as principal after for-
mer Chancellor Fernandez twice removed her
as a principal in D. 12. The miracle improve-
ment of test scores in her school caught the
eye of Stancik when he was the special inves-
tigator. She was removed again as principal,
sent to the rubber room, and now is collecting
her city pension as well as serving as princi-
pal of this charter.
Edison Schools, a large for-profit charter
was traded on NASDAQ. The more they prof-
it, the happier the stockholder. They only
showed profit one quarter of the 4 years on
NASDAQ. There go unions, class size, main-
tenance, and decent salaries.
Is it any wonder that charter schools, re-
ceiving more than $220 million in public
funding went to court to seek a decision that
they not be audited? They won in a lower
court. Fortunately for us, an appellate court
reversed a decision of a lower court that char-
ter schools were not subject to audit by the
Office of the State Comptroller as are all oth-
er public schools.
“Leveling the Playing Field: What New
York Charter School Leaders Need to Know
About Union Organizing” was a panel dis-

cussion at a seminar sponsored by the Atlan-
tic Legal Foundation in NYC in 2005. The
purpose? To discuss “union prevention” in
the city’s forty-seven charter schools. Caryl
Cohen, a representative of NY’s DOE charter
school arm was a speaker. The consensus of
the panel was that “good charter schools or-
ganize themselves in ways that keep unions
out”.
…and let’s not forget the priva-
tization of services…
The DOE's awarded a contract to Cham-
pion Learning Center, a private company, for
$9.6 million over two years to tutor public
school students at home, but the company has
received $21 million. That amount is expected
to go higher by the end of the school year.
They received $79 an hour to tutor each pupil
for up to four hours per week, but paid its in-
experienced tutors and average of $17 per
hour. Tutors paid transportation costs to each
child's home and the $150 fee each for the
cost of fingerprinting and a security check.
The balance, $62 per hour went for overhead,
management and profit for the company. Un-
der No Child Left Behind, children can be
tutored by outside agencies if they attend low
performing schools. One college student re-
ported that they were provided with little
training and were told to follow instructions
in the test prep workbooks.
Neither the good old days nor Mayoral
Control will help deliver an education worthy
of the 1.1 million school children of NYC.
The plan approved by the Independent Com-
munity of Educators and the Staten Island
Democratic Association, which brings real
control to the schools and works up with
checks and balances along the way, has a
good shot at it.
Bloomberg's anti-gay record
CONTINUED FROM P2
with our community? Are more folks selling
out to Bloomberg?"
In the words of civil rights attorney Tom
Shanahan, "As a long time openly gay civil
rights attorney, I am astounded that any self
respecting member of our community could
possibly consider supporting the term limit
extending "reannointment" of Billionaire
Bloomberg. Here are just a few reasons why:
his direction and oversight of the mass ar-
rests during the Republican National Conven-
tion; preventing same sex couples from mar-
rying through a legal challenge; attempts to
censor members of the media who refuse to
write pro-Bloomberg propaganda; and, his
being a cheerleader for the Federal, City, and
State Republican parties, that have worked
against the LGBT community, people of col-
or, poor people (i.e., pay for your homeless
shelter bed); and those who support reproduc-
tive choice. Not only is it disgusting, it's out-
rageous! His refusal to back Obama/ Biden
over McCain/Palin should crystalize any
doubt about his credibility as a 'progressive'.
It confirms why any LGBT person that would
lend their name to his re-election is demean-
ing to the formation of our movement, the
credibility and present state of our movement,
and the future of our community. It's amaz-
ing what some people will do for money."
As someone who was deeply involved in
the movement since the early 1970's, let me
assure you, the founders of today's gay rights
movement would never have jumped into bed
with the likes of a Michael Bloomberg. He
would have been picketed and zapped, dis-
rupted and read for dirt. Our activist com-
munity back then consisted of progressive
civil rights activists who stood together as a
solid block demanding what was due us. Not
a one of us would have joined hands or stood
up for the likes of a Bloomberg. Those were
the pre-Brian Ellner/Richard Socarides days.
Those were the days before members of our
community would be bought off for an elevat-
ed park or a real estate deal. As with so many
other civil rights movements, the activists
lead the way and then the establishment con-
servative element moves in for either power
or greed and shames those who led the way. I
wonder if any of us ever thought our commu-
nity would become so morally bankrupt.
What they think of as “progress” and “matu-
rity” for seeing beyond LGBT issues, I see as
shameful when our rights and people—espe-
cially our vulnerable young people—are still
under attack around the world and right here
in New York City.
