 Times Ledger - Gays in Astoria call Bloomberg 'liar'
Mayor Michael Bloomberg heard scattered heckling Saturday at an Astoria gay and lesbian event after he confirmed that his administration would appeal a ruling by a state judge in Manhattan that opened the door for same-sex marriages in the city.
Bloomberg, who is seeking re-election to a second term, was scheduled to speak at the event well before a Manhattan Supreme Court judge ruled Friday that a state law effectively defining marriage as between a man and a woman violated the rights to equal protection and due process enshrined in the New York constitution.
Bloomberg's response to Friday's ruling is likely to be used against him by Thomas Ognibene, who will challenge the mayor in the Republican primary by claiming he is the more conservative candidate.
