A vocal dwarf activist for issues ranging from gay and disabled rights to transportation was struck and killed by a taxi as he left a meeting on the Lower East Side, authorities said yesterday.
Harry Wieder, 57, walked with crutches from a meeting of Community Board 3 Tuesday evening at PS 20, then crossed Essex Street in the middle of the block and was hit by a yellow cab, fellow board members said.
Wieder was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The diminutive crusader got his start as an activist in the early 1980s when he came out as gay and got involved in the rights group ACT UP. Wieder became a fixture at community-board meetings, rallies and hearings and was well-known on the city's political scene.[/release]
How tragic. I'm short on words.
Poor man, spent years fighting for gay rights, only to have his life cut short.
He had a short life...
Lol and when I was in New York I saw a 60-70 year old man get hit by a cab.
This is too common of an occurrence, people in NY need to stop being such terrible drivers.
shitty pun :(

Well that's a little gay
It's amazing how people die so shortly after car accidents.
"Urist McFag cancels on break; Interrupted by Taxi"
The title made me laugh, I feel bad.
Why did he leave Ironforge in the first place?

"Hey guise I have a phd in "Judging people from photos""
Pretty dumb comment, what was the last thing you stood up for? And because he looks different it means he isn't intelligent, but merely "trying to look intellectual" by reading a newspaper?
I dont think he really STOOD up for much, but people like him are in SHORT order
Short man, short life.
Harry Wieder...
Justin Bieber...
It all makes sense now.
That was a [i]short[/i] article.
The guys who wrote it are men of [i]small[/i] words.
That artical was a little queer.
