Words: Giuliani supports domestic partnerships, but not gay marriage (though he opposes a ban on gay marriage), and the inclusion of sexual preference in anti-discrimination laws. He also feels that the policy on gays in the military should not be changed in a time of war. “The best answer is domestic partnership, so that you’re recognizing the rights of people who are gay and lesbian and protecting them. But marriage should remain between a man and a woman.”

Actions: As mayor of New York City, Giuliani extended the benefits city agencies to gay and lesbian couples.

UPDATE: This satirical ad, Gays for Giuliani , highlighting Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s LGBT policies in New York was meant to hurt the Mayor with conservatives. It may have played some role in the collapse of Mayor Giuliani’s once powerful lead.
