So he crossdresses, so what? He’s not some ‘imprison the gays’ wingnut, so what does it matter what he does for fun as long as no he does no harm to others?

He broke his promise to marry the gay friends who took him in during his divorce.

The gay car dealer who opened his home to Rudy Giuliani in 2001 during his humiliating divorce battle says the former mayor offered to preside at his wedding if same-sex marriage were ever legalized — but is now ducking his calls to make good on the offer.

“I asked if he would marry us,” recalled Howard Koeppel, the unlikely provider of an emergency Midtown crash pad to Giuliani for six months when his marriage to Donna Hanover was crumbling and Gracie Mansion was a war zone.

“He said, ‘Howard, I don’t ever do anything that’s not legal. If it becomes legal in New York, you’ll be one of the first ones I would marry.’ “

Ten years later, Koeppel is distressed that his former house guest hasn’t returned the many calls he began making before the legislation was passed last week.

“It seems like a lot of people he was close to become persona non grata,” Koeppel observed.

So yeah, Rudy in some ways is worse than a homophobe. He’s the kind of douche who, out of sheer political expedience, would break a promise to his friends who took him in when he was down. That’s pretty goddamned craven. Fuck that guy.
