Ed Koch Appears in Gay Film!

Koch is slammed by Randy Shilts in "And the Band Played On" for leading an administration that did apparently very little good during the early days of the AIDS crisis in NYC, too. Surprising to see him touting himself as a friend of the gay movement...

What's the one about "You shouldn't do pushups in heels" or something? Emory says it to the hustler.

I like "Cheese it, here comes the socialite nun!"

Koch, instrumental in that he remains in the closet and we don't have to take responsibility for him. I can't once remember Ed Koch ever saying ANYTHING about gay rights.

I guess I'm Michael, since he's the one who outs people.

Ohhhh. Can't wait to see this film. You are among a group of prestigious talking heads! I wonder who identified with whom in that film. I always thought of myself as Donald, because I drove my VW in through the midtown tunnel every weekend to see my b/f who was a self-hating Catholic sweater-collector.

Does Ed know he's a punchline in Angels in America?

Ed has the nerve to brag about his gay accomplishments????

i miss those mayor ed koch years! best times! could smoke joints on the streets in front of cops. they left you alone! times square was a toilet or cesspool as described at one point by the holy!good for him he´s in a gay film. how old is he, now? i saw him once at gay pride! this was before outing! does he still have lots of friends?
