Open Secret

As far as I know, it’s an open secret that the Republican running for Florida governor is gay. But of course he’s denying it:
A young rising star in the Republican Party has boasted to witnesses of his sexual relationship with Charlie Crist, the frontrunner in the Florida governor’s race who has repeatedly denied that he is gay.
The GOP staffer, 21-year-old Jason Wetherington, told friends at separate social functions in August that he had sex with Crist, according to two credible and independent sources who heard Wetherington make the claim first-hand.
Wetherington, who recently worked as a field director for U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris and currently works for state representative Ellyn Bodganoff’s reelection campaign, also named a man whom he said is Crist’s long-term partner, a convicted thief named Bruce Carlton Jordan who also recently worked for Harris in her long-shot Senate bid.
Jordan made headlines recently when the Miami Herald learned that the felon was working as Harris’s travel aide. The newspaper noted that Jordan, 42, was reported to be close friends with Charlie Crist, whom he convinced to attend an annual Florida Funeral Directors Association meeting in 2003.
Ah, Florida. My home, and current, state. Isn’t it wonderfully amusing that a Republican homosexual is so adamantly denying that he’s gay? Does he feel he must lie to be elected? Is he a self-hating gay? If he were a Democrat would he still feel the need to hide himself? Or, reversed, if he didn’t feel the need to hide himself, would he still feel the need to be a Republican? Does he think he would lose votes if he were open? Doesn’t he think his constituents have a right to vote their morals when voting him into office, as Republicans across the country seem to believe when voting against liberals and Democrats?
So many questions.
Doesn’t the G in GOP stand for gay?
and we know the P stands or Pedophile. Come on, O!
