In response to David Brody pointing out that Rudy Giuliani donated to pro-family groups and proclaimed an Evangelical Christian Children's Parade Day, Matt Lewis writes:

Of course, not all of Rudy's "proclamations" have been so conservative ...

Lesbian And Gay Pride And History Month. (Giuliani Press Release, 6/24/97)

Giuliani's Deputy Mayor, On Behalf Of The Mayor, Proclaimed June 18, 2001 "Out In Government Day." (Giuliani Press Release, 6/18/01)

Giuliani Proclaimed June 20, 2000 "Out In Government Day." (Giuliani Press Release, 6/20/00)

Giuliani Proclaimed June 23, 1999 "Out In Government Day." (Giuliani Press Release, 6/23/99)

Giuliani Proclaimed June 22, 1998 "Out In Government Day." (Giuliani Press Release, 6/22/98)

If this is Lewis's attempt at gotcha journalism, it falls far short. Giuliani was mayor of perhaps the most diverse city in the world, and so he showed tolerance for evangelical Christians as well as homosexuals. That shouldn't be considered an assault on conservatism.
