Vote for Cuomo, not the homo |

That wasn’t all. In “I, Koch,” a 1985 unauthorized biography of Koch, my co-authors and I reported that Mario Cuomo’s campaign “hired a private detective to try to find out who Koch’s ‘boyfriend’ was and attempted to plant stories with the press that Koch was gay.” Cuomo’s campaign also offered money to a Catholic group in Greenwich Village if it would “publish a newsletter suggesting that Koch was gay.” The group refused." |
