1. I almost feel sorry for those right wingers who are afraid to come out -
but for those who gay-bash, I'm glad they're living in fear of being exposed.

Anything we can do to hurry it along? :7

2. It makes zero sense to try and prevent Gays from having rights, when u yourself are gay.
A lot of them aren't just against gay rights, they're very vocal about it. Sad.

8. I DON'T Care What Anyone Is... But If You Vote Against Rights For People
who you claim are different, then you should be held to a different standard. Putting yourself up on a pedestal and denouncing others can be precarious at times. You have further to fall, and hopefully he will fall off someday! I think it's called hypocrisy at it's best. I've wondered for a long time if someone would FINALLY call his bluff! We shall see, but he puts on a good face, all the while voting against what he knows he shouldn't!! I have no doubt that he is gay myself!

But for now, nobody seems to want to get him bad enough!

Yes, IT IS AN OUTRAGE... and it's a good documentary! Wish more people could watch it, calls out some other well known politicians too!

9. I don't care if a Repub wants to be in the closet... so long as that Repub votes
for GLBT rights.


That is rarely (if ever) the case.


I'll say the same thing for Dems. If they want to be in the closet, they sure as heck better not vote against gay rights.



It would be like a female politician voting against abortion rights but having an abortion herself (or her husband voting against the rights and his wife having an abortion).


It's all about the hypocrisy!

3. There must be lots of good stuff going on in the closet.
Crist doesn't want to come out for some reason.

4.  If someone says they are gay I won't call them a liar and insist they are straight.

7. Saw That Doc About Two Weeks Ago... Very Interesting, But It's Been
bantered about for many years that he's gay. One of his long time girl friends (forgot her name) when asked said, contact me in about 10 years!

I think many many people know, but none will actually come out and say it. Of course those who made the documentary actually DO know and have LOTS of facts about him!

But I DON'T think that will keep him from running. I think he feels his secret will remain that way because it has for so long. Those who really are in a position to "out" him, meaning those who have been up close and personal, basically have zipped their lips!

And living here in Florida, a very fluid state... too many people don't follow it enough. I know I've mentioned it to some elderly REPUKES and they simply dismiss it out of hand. Plus, with many elderly people, they just vote for who Sam or Susie tell them to vote for. They have these little tea parties and it's all la-tee-da. At least where I live it seems that way. But then I do live in a place they call the "cultural center of the south!" The Van Wezel is quite well known. In fact, I recently attended an upscale town hall that featured Bill Clinton. He made some comments about how he never came here when he was running for POTUS, but now he said he thought it was okay. He was very interesting and different from what you see on the news.

Oh my, got off subject... but give me $500.00 to bet on where Crist is or is not gay... I'd bet the wad that he is. Just have to get someone to speak up! There's word that he may run for Senator, but that's been yea or nay for a while now!

Over & Out...

10. I live in Tallahassee, and that was one of the first rumors I heard when I moved here
I spend a lot of time with the LGBT community here, and it seems to be common knowledge.

11. Yes, They DO Know... We Just Need The "Goods" To Confirm It Without
giving him wiggle room! It's not really much of a secret to many of us who live in Florida, but he keeps rolling along!

ONE DAY, MAYBE!!
