Slog - Comments on Charlie Crist: Fair Game http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/fair_game Anti-gay bigots have gathered enough signatures to put a state anti-gay marriage amendment on the ballot in Florida next November. One of the signatures they managed to gather was that of Florida's Republican governor, Charlie Crist. "Why is this significant?" asks Towleroad rhetorically. Well, besides telling the Miami Herald earlier this year that the GOP should stop pouring money into anti-gay initiatives, there's the little matter of persistent rumors that Crist, like Foley, Haggard, Craig, Curtis, Allen, et al, is a big, fat, fucking faggot. For a complete rundown of the Crist rumors, go to Towleroad. And to any male...

Author Lee Harris is one example off the top of my head. There probably aren't many examples.

On another note, I think it shows at least poor taste, if not poor judgment, for a Governor to sign a petition of this nature. He's supposed to be the governor of everybody in Florida, and I'm fairly certain there are queers in Florida.

To add anything to a constitution not allowing someone or banning someone from anything really goes exactly against what this document is supposed to enforce; American freedom.

Fucking asses.

Just type "Charlie Crist Gay Sex" into Google and watch your computer go up in flames--better stand back.

Charlie Crist is so megadee gay-gay-gay that he even has an entire revealing section of Wonkette devoted to his gayness:

http://wonkette.com/politics/charlie-crist/

That's super-thermonuclear-industrial-strength gay.

Plus, if I recall, wasn't he banging one of Katherine Harris' boy toy staff?

Just goes to show that hypocritical, fake "morals" aren't the only thing he's gonna shove down your throat.

All Republican homos should lose all man-on-man-sex rights until they renounce their evil ways.

So all those bathroom cruisers and escorts out there need to raise their standards. No sucky sucky without proof of non-fascist political affiliation. Sexual frustration will bring down the self hating homo Jesus tards of the world.

That's quite a moral framework, Dan.

I don't love the homophobes, or people pretending not to be gay, but the whole push for gay marriage is starting to bore me.

Here's another gay person not for gay marriage. From the lesbian writer Jane Rule's (Desert Hearts) recent obit:

"To be forced back into the heterosexual cage of coupledom is not a step forward but a step back into state-imposed definitions of relationship. With all that we have learned, we should be helping our heterosexual brothers and sisters out of their state-defined prisons, not volunteering to join them there."

You know how Democrats aren't allowed to say that they're in favor of Gay Marriages? Well, Crist has already alienated a great deal of his base by being too centrist on other issues. I think he's trying to save a bit of face.

Honestly, after Jeb Bush, he's been a godsend. I voted for the other guy, but I haven't been upset by anything Crist has done since taking office. He's apparently made a mess of Home Insurance, but that was an clusterfuck before he got there anyway.

and the womans should withhold from the breeders to end the war

combined you could totally pull a Lysistrata

don't worry women withholding would work on Condeleza
