The Biggest Homophobe Anti Gay Ruben Diaz Has New Gay Neighbors in His Office Building
The Bronx's largest gay-rights group is opening its new headquarters Monday inside the very building funded by, and named after, the state's most vocal same-sex marriage opponent, state Sen. Ruben Diaz.
Bronx Pride is preparing to open in the Rev. Ruben Diaz Gardens, a 111-unit building on Kelly Street and Westchester Avenue opened two years ago, reports the New York Post. The building is funded by the city Housing and Development Corp., and backed by his nonprofit.

Diaz, 68, who is also an ordained minister, is reportedly furious about the new tenants, the Post says, especially after losing the same-sex marriage battle in the state capital this year.
Bronx Pride Executive Director Dirk McCall told the Post, "It [just] happens to be entertaining that the building's named after someone who opposes marriage for us."
Diaz has been in close quarters with gay rights activists before: his lesbian niece, Erica Diaz, has previously taken their family conflict over same-sex marriage public.
