Koch On His Critics: Fuck Those Guys

As I noted here earlier this week, former NYC mayor Ed Koch has endorsed the NOM-backed anti-gay GOP candidate in the special election to replace Rep. Anthony Weiner. And Koch is not too happy to be called out as the closet case that he is for making this endorsement.

[Daniel] Dromm, who is one of a handful of LGBT members of the City Council, says Koch should be supporting Democrat David Weprin, because Weprin supports same-sex marriage, and Koch, Dromm says, is gay. “Koch’s whole thing is bizarre,” Dromm said, taking special exception to the former mayor’s support for an opponent of gay marriage since he is “a closet case.” He is joined in his criticism by fiery LGBT activist Allen Roskoff, who tells the paper, “It’s a disgrace that Ed Koch is supporting someone who would deny his right to marry.” Koch has a salty response: "Oh, fuck those two guys."
