Ex-Mayor, Ed Koch, died early this morning at the age of 88. RIP



Ed Koch was famous for his "How Am I Doing?" question. He go'd out on the streets to greet and talk to New Yorkers, asking them "How am I doing?". Stayed active, sharp and outspoken to his last days. Probably the most beloved Mayor in the history of NYC.

It's a sad day for NYC.

"It's a shame the ex-NYC mayor never came out. It's tragic that he hid behind excuses like the fact that he was old and wasn't sexual at all anymore. Old people are still sexual--and if you're gay, you're still gay--and besides, he could have commented on his past. But Ed was so paranoid on the subject that when I interviewed him in the '90s, he propped up a tape recorder to tape me as I recorded him. It was a creepy double game of 'gotcha!' that led nowhere (though he was otherwise gruffly charming). [snip] The world is now an emptier place, but so is the celebrity closet." - Michael Musto, writing for the Village Voice.

Why the hate. The guy is dead, leave it at that.

+1 A person's private life should be private. WGAF if he was gay. I don't care and neither should anybody here.
