Bill Thompson, who is running against heterosexist bigot Michael Bloomberg, spoke out at the rally against the heinous homophobic hate crime that recently happened in Queens. Here's his speech.
Thompson has been a strong supporter of the queer community for years. He doesn't suddenly discover us around election time, like some politicians do.
Hundreds of people showed up to protest the hate crime, while a small number of bigots showed up to support the bashers.
No Th3rd T3rm for Micha3l Bloomb3rg! points out the following:
Whilst the community held the public demonstration against homophobia and hate crimes, reportedly, "Bloomberg was off campaigning with Giuliani. Telling, very telling."
It's especially telling, since the NYPD did nothing about homophobic hate crimes under Giuliani except when they went on a queer bashing spree during the Matthew Shepard Political Funeral March.
Bloomberg has got to go.
Shoot me an email to monkeymuckATgmailDOTcom, I have a Mojo Nixon song I think you'll love.
Let's hope he kicks Bloomberg to the curb.
Yes. LABELS are limited to 2,000 total. :>/ Of course, I didn't know this. I think Blogger instituted the limitation recently.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Thompson won?? He has my vote... Am hoping for voter apathy on the part of Bloomberg's supporters....
