I'm Not Gay' Florida Attorney General Declares

January 18, 2005

(Tampa, Florida) The man fighting to preserve Florida's anti-gay adoption law is battling a widely circulating rumor that he is gay himself.

Attorney General Charlie Crist took the unusual step this week of calling a popular Tampa radio show to deny the rumor as he prepares to announce his candidacy for Governor.

It was clear from the onset that the call to WQYK-FM had been prearranged.

"Are you a homo?'' asked host Dave McKay.

"No, man. No. I love women. I mean, they're wonderful,'' Crist replied.

Crist and McKay have been friends for some time and the two proceeded on air to discuss the Attorney General's female friends and dating.

"Yeah, well, fortunately I have, uh, I'm very blessed,'' Crist said.

``I've seen you with some great-looking women,'' McKay then said, ``I've heard some women even complain that you're a womanizer.''

The afternoon drive show on the country music station is among the highest rated in the area.

McKay said he called Crist to offer him the chance to "set the record straight," after television coverage of political forum last week in which an audience member asked the Attorney General if he is gay.

Crist replied that he is not.

Crist is 48, was married for seven months in 1979 and is considered handsome and impeccably dressed. The rumors that he was gay had circulated privately in Florida since the beginning of his political career.

I hope not. I do try to respond to questions directed at me.

Why do you ask? Too much gay content?

What is your opinion on the article? Should the attourney general's private life be exposed (highlighting the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of gay and lesbian members of the Republican party) -- or is his private life off limits?

how stupid can these radio and media people be. Is that like the in thing now, to ask people if they're gay? how come they don't ask if you're straight? I've met Charlie Crist & voted for him, he's been to my parents church before, he's a very nice person. I never thought he was gay. Wouldn't make any difference to me if he was.

It's a question of interest because this guy has spent millions of dollars fighting to enforce a ban on gays adopting in the state of Florida (despite there being an overwhelming shortage of people willing to adopt). It looks kind of hypocritical if the guy himself is homosexual.

Personally I don't really like people digging into peoples private lives for dirt to throw. It was wrong when the republicans did it to clinton and this isn't much better. We all know that the republican position is morally and logically bankrupt. If he's gay let him deal with it in his own way.

Leave his private life out of it. How does it effect us, the voters, if he goes home and has intimate relations with a man or woman?

Last year around this time, it was Texas Gov. Rick Perry that was being attacked by the left as being gay. Most of those rumors were started by the UT Democrats, but somehow it got into most major papers in Texas. Kind of makes you wonder, how much they really support gays if they go around using it as untrue personal attacks.

Is it untrue, tho?

If he is gay, & makes use of aspects of the gay community, but then goes to work and pursues a radical antigay agenda, then I think he should be exposed for the hypocrite he is.

Gee, with all these gay Republicans floating around, one would have thought that you would consider the possibility that there are legitimate reasons for disallowing homosexual marriages. Is the writing on the wall not big enough, or do you just need new glasses?

Hypocrisy would be if Crist was homosexual and had adopted a child.

Or perhaps they are ashamed and are trying to make themselves feel straight.

Yes, I'm sure they're all bigoted against themselves. Genius.

ROFL, that interview comes off as a Stereotypical Closet Homosexual trying to hide. I wouldn't care at all if he was Gay, but that Interview is a Comedy Sketch waiting for some Actors.
