This little grouping must have set off every gaydar in a hundred mile radius.
That's exactly -- EXACTLY -- what my liberal friends say about him.
Wow, I never knew.
Now you’re telling me Kissinger was gay?
I agree with you....McCain running mate HAS to e a minority/woman or a battle state pol
Honestly, even though I am from the area and my dad knew his dad I have not heard anything more than just unsubstantiated rumors. Even if he is straight, I do not think that being an unattached bachelor is good for his long-term ambitions.
...thankful for urban dictionary to help with that one.
Lyndon LaRouche has been telling Kissinger’s wife that he’s been gay for years: http://www.csj.org/infoserv_bookreview/king_dennis_lyndonlarouche.htm
I thought he was dating Mark Foley.
Have you forgotten the dem’s campaign slogan - “Vote for Cuomo, not the homo”?
“Cover” girl.
Do you have a creditable source for that information?
No, he’s not.
Fags get overcome with natural heterosexual desire from time to time. Fighting nature is difficult.
“I think your gaydar is functioning perfectly. She is a standin for his boyfriend.”
That was my first thought also- a stand-in, so as not to embarass McCain with any questions.
Maybe so, but I hadn’t heard that. Do you have a source?
Here is some of what I have saved in the way of rumors and facts in my own archives regarding Crist:
by likes2mtnbike at 11:25 AM on 11/04/06 I’ve lived in Tampa for almost all of my 40something years and that rumor has been flapping in the wind forever among my gay community. Reports after his divorce many years ago were that SHE ditched HIM for fraud. Hmmmm...didn’t Rene Zellweiger dump Kenny Chesney for the same thing and isn’t he about the gayest thing you’ve ever seen? Where there’s fudge...

Excerpt:
by the way, in the florida republican gubernatorial primary, there is a candidate named charlie crist (chain-gang charlie). charlie is a forty-something, never married man who is always being trumpeted as an eligible bachelor. he rents an aparment in st. petersburg from a well-known queen, and he has been dogged by whispers of homosexual activity for a number of years. when publicly asked last year whether or not he is gay, he got very nervous. the woman who asked the question is a well-known progressive activist, and she was immediately denounced as homophobic by many prominent republicans. crist is also quite cozy with the evangelicals, so i think that this is a very pertinent issue.

The Question
Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist had just finished a lunchtime talk to the Tiger Bay Club on Friday when someone asked The Question.
“I have heard that you were gay, sir, and I wanted to know if that was true,” asked Lee DeCesare. The hotel meeting room fell silent.
I’m not,” Crist replied.
Crist’s divorce is on file at the Pinellas County clerk’s office. It shows Crist married Amanda Morrow in Delray Beach in July 1979. Seven months later, the marriage ended. The couple had no children.
DeCesare, 72, a Democrat from Madeira Beach who writes a column for Tampa’s weekly La Gaceta, a tri-lingual weekly newspaper in Tampa, said she’s heard “whispers” about Crist before. She recalled his outspoken criticism in 1998 of a college play, paid for with tax dollars, that he said portrayed Jesus as gay.
—STEVE BOUSQUET, Times Staff Writer (January 15, 2005)
“What’s this about Charlie’s ex-wife, Amanda Morrow, being a lesbian? Does the press know that she has lived with her partner for years? Is this why Charlie’s marriage failed? Is this why Mr. Crist is for Civil Union for gays? Does this mean that their marriage was a sham?”
—Bruce, Naked Politics, Miami Herald (August 24, 2006)
While in law school, Crist married Amanda Morrow in Delray Beach. The 1979 marriage lasted a little more than six months. They divorced in January 1980. “We dated at Florida State for a couple of years, got married. I was pretty young. It just didn’t work out,’’ said Crist, who has never talked much about the marriage and had little to say about it.
The brevity of his marriage, and the fact that Crist has never had kids, has prompted whispers about his sexuality and questions about his ability to relate to most voters.
“I don’t like to argue and we did some of that. But that’s really all I have to say,’’ said Crist, who has not kept in touch with his former wife.

On race relations
Democratic Representative Terry Fields of Jacksonville, Florida referred to Crist as the state’s “first black governor”, saying, “Charlie Crist has been a friend to the African-American community even before he became governor”.
He is the first Republican governor to accept the state’s NAACP invitation to a convention and endorsed legislation requiring paper records of all ballots cast during an election, stemming from criticisms in black communities that believed they were being undercounted by computerized voting machines. [19]
2008 presidential election
Crist campaigned frequently with John McCain during the Florida primaries and gave the Arizona Senator his endorsement. Crist has been mentioned by many in the media as a possible running mate for McCain. If this was to be the case, it may allow for McCain to secure the 27 electoral votes from the state of Florida.
Crist has said that he is willing to do a do-over of Florida’s Democratic primary in order to properly assign the delegates, so that they may be counted at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.[
The bar owner and patrons of the Tampa gay bar Crist frequented as an openly gay man in the 1990’s have come out to call Crist a gay man.
Interview was just this week.
You mean pictures and a signed confession? Um, no. Maybe around your parts you could ignore all the smoke, but there have been many anecdotal sightings of him at "cruise centers" for years. Most politicians in Florida know all about them..
I'd say he had a lot more indiscretions than Larry Craig had, who I think has been more discreet..
. Knowing McVain, however, I'd say he would just love to piss on his base and choose this guy, despite the "rumors"..
