Bernstein Partner Wins Suit Against NYU Medical Center

Mark Taylor, Leonard Bernstein’s former partner, has won a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal from New York University Medical Center. “Taylor met Bernstein in 1989. When the composer fell ill it was Taylor who cared for him. Bernstein died in 1990. All the time Taylor remained closeted at work. But, in 1994 he was publicly outed as Bernstein’s lover in a biography. The book also mentioned Farber, who was Bernstein’s doctor. It circulated around the office, with references to Taylor highlighted.”
