I Just Watched A Documentary Called "Outrage" Presented By HBO & I Live In Florida!!!!
While in my heart of hearts I have thought Crist was gay, I never made a big issues of it! But having seen this program I am now so very turned off by how very devious he's been!!

He worked hard to promote voters to vote YES on Amendment Two that has done so much damage to LBGT people! If he should make a run for Senator or POTUS I now vow to work VERY HARD to find out everything I can to make sure others know what a hypocrite he is!

This coming from a long time married white woman who is a so called heterosexual, and always have been. Have never even had any other thoughts. But having to say I'm heterosexual is even offensive to me, so I can only imagine how the LGBT people must feel. I took down so many names of people who have "come out" in D.C. and many around the country, but also names of people who do nothing but DENY the fact that they are other than hetero!

It sickens me and it is AN OUTRAGE!! One comment I took from the documentary was this... a person stated that if everyone in D.C. would simply come out of the closet one might feel the place has more gays than San Francisco!!

I'll stop my tirade now, but for some reason I NEVER even knew Jim Kolbe, a prominent, out of the closet (R) from Arizona actually admitted to it! How did I miss this? But at least he stands up to who he is. I don't like his politics, but I have to give it to him for stating the obvious!

We are such a SILLY, SILLY country, and EVIL when it comes to the rights of so many citizens who have been denied basic rights!

I'm done now, at least for right now!

1. I loved the statement Carol Rome made after the Break Up
It was something like " I better keep my big mouth shut.... Ask me again in about 10 years , I'll have a story to tell."

2. I Caught That & Wished She Would "Tell" That Story NOW & Not Ten
years from now. However, having said what she said and how she said... well she SAID a lot!

She either got paid a LOT of money, or Charlie is walking on ice!! I would prefer it to be the latter because she can be his "shadow!" Perhaps, with a little luck there may be someone else out there willing to pay her a bit more! At least she was willing to "make a statement" and I would think even Charlie wonders why!!!

I told my husband I was going to put a BIG sign in my yard saying "Charlie Crist IS GAY!" But he said it might be taken the wrong way, like maybe I was AGAINST GLBT! There MUST be a way to get him "outed" in a BIG enough way before 2012! I can't bear to think of ANOTHER Florida SCREW UP!

I've had enough, since I'm stuck here and have to live with all that's gone on these past years! Can't tell you the "barbs" that have been thrown my way about FLORIDA, especially since 2000!

3. I thought everybody knew, except the self-deceiving fundamentalists. No, we
do not want him as president.

4. Oh, I Have No Doubt That Many "Know"... It's Just Not Enough
to "know" because of the people you state. But I must add that here in Florida there are a LOT of elderly people who just listen to their friendly neighbor and who they support on any given issue.

I've seen it happen over and over, maybe not ONLY elderly but certainly enough because THEY vote and if their "friend" says he's OKAY and if the friend knows NOTHING... Charlie gets another one in his column! I've told many people about the fact, but too many say they haven't heard about it OR even seen any evidence. Especially those who don't follow politics closely! And that's because a lot of people come here to retire, not to be an activist!

So it needs to be IN YOUR FACE OUT THERE!!
