STONEWALL Veterans' Association |
=Background= -----Mayoral Campaign 2005-----
Anytime that anyone in
the S.V.A. ran into Giffy during the
2005 primary
election season, they were fibbed to that Giffy's
office was going to phone us. Next time we ran
into Giffy, it was the same baloney! Fool
us once, shame on you;
fool us
twice, you
won't
fool the Stonewall Vetz again! In
contrast, Giffy has been
relentless in courting every GLBT vote
and every GLBT political group. The exception is PRIDE Democrats, the
sponsor of the largest candidates' forum in N.Y.S. history! PRIDE is an independent offshoot
of
the S.V.A. Giffy foolishly singled out PRIDE Dems with
active honorary
members such as former Mayor Koch, former Mayor Giuliani and current Mayor Bloomberg to give PRIDE his exclusion. Bad judgment by Giffy! -----Gay Snide @ City Hall----- During Gay
Pride Month 2005, Giffy had his political opportunist
"celebration" at City Hall but he rudely did not invite
the S.V.A. or any of its legendary members from the historic 1969 Stonewall
Rebellion. How disrespectful and ignorant is that?
Very, especially if you are running for citywide office. Miller had others' bad advice
coupled with his own bad
judgment.
Thus, a political trainwreck! Giffy's misconception of "pride" was walking down Gay
Boulevard in Chelsea with several paid, suited, bureaucratic Gays.
As a councilmember, Miller repeatedly
abused his position to discriminate against and insult the Stonewall
veterans and, thus, ignore many of his constituents. What's
most pathetic is that Giffy allowed anyone to convince
him of such shameful behavior.
-----Stonewall Day 2005----- -----Moneybag$ Giffy -- $$$ for Everyone GLBTQ except S.V.A.----- -----Summation: Nothing from nothing leaves nothing-----
Mr.
Miller has exhibited undemocratic and unsmart lack of judgment -- dangerous traits for a politician. Who
would support someone who ignores you? The realistic advice that the
Giff was given never resonated. To quote the S.V.A.
assistant AnDre, who has witnessed Giffy's
false words and rude actions, "He's a hater!" On Primary
Election Day 2005, we Stonewall-ingly urge that the majority of New York City
voters -- especially GLBTers and their supporters -- join the S.V.A. and untold others in dishing
out a losing
one-digit defeat to Alan "Giffy" Miller
of ending dead last! The S.V.A. has been here long before Giffy and we'll be here so long after Giffy.
Special Acknowledgment: The sitting N.Y.C. CouncilmemberS who read this page, called the S.V.A. and concluded that it could be variably entitled: "What a candidate should not do in the G.L.B.T. communities". Post-Primary Election 2005 Note: Thank you so very much, again, New York City -- including the mere one-digit! 2005 DemocraticPrimaryResults
1.
Fernando F. Ferrer (staff ignored the S.V.A. and he lost the City)
2. Anthony D. Weiner (could have won if not for Marc Bent-oyt, et al.) 3. C. Virginia Fields (thanks to the S.V.A. and others, she beat Giffy!) 4. A. Giffy Miller (bottom) NYC Mayoral Historical Fact: Since the STONEWALL Veterans' Association's (S.V.A.) and its sister group the Imperial QUEENS & KIngs of New York's (IQKNY) supportive meeting with then sitting Mayor and re-election candidate John V. Lindsay at City Hall in hot late August of 1969, no one ever won Mayor of New York City without the non-political support of the S,V.A. A four-decade coincidence? No one! That includes non-mayor Marc "Gang" Green and anyone who disrespectfully ignores the S.V.A. The last letter that Mayor Lindsay wrote to any Gay group was in June 1994 to the S.V.A. and the IQKNY on their 25th anniversary!
2004 The Miller's Tale Note: While this insincere "proclamation" looks good, Giffy rudely and foolishly refused to present it to the STONEWALL Veterans' Association at his Gay pride celebration. S.V.A.'s disabled V.P. Bert Coffman was told that "If you want it, you have to pick it up at the front desk". The S.V.A. refused to demean itself to fetch it. A tube mailer arrived a month later with the belated 'proc'.
2002 P.S. Whatever happened to the "A." in Alan Gifford Miller? Just asking!
2002 - Note from AGM Staffer to the S.V.A. Director The Miller's Tale: Every other S.V.A. Journal letter -- including the ones we received from other Councilmembers -- was accompanied by a contribution and/or an ad -- except for Giffy's! Everyone knows that journal ads are not 'comps'!
1999
Notice: The STONEWALL Veterans' Association's name is spelled wrong in this letter not in just one out of three words but in two words and in two places! That is inefficient and careless. Giffy is not even consistent in the spellings (such as Veterans' and Veteran's). It's annoying when you have corrected the person on prior occasions. It leads some who have read this Giffy letter to believe that maybe he didn't even read it! All he -- or they -- had to do was copy the correct data from the S.V.A. letterhead. Hey, would Giffy like his name spelt wrong, e.g., "Gaffy" or "Goofy"? The letter was free and clear of a cent. What goes around comes around.
