The rainbow flag is a nice touch. lol
I love how he has to remind everyone that he has a wife. It just screams, "I'm straight! I'm straight! See, I told you I'm straight!"

I hope he's greeted at every campaign stop by a small band of gay Floridians holding signs that say "Cocksuckers for Crist."

This should make for some good popcorn-caliber entertainment...

Aside from speculation in the movie, how do we know he is gay? Can someone refresh my memory. Is there an ex on record?

if i weren't so afraid of who or what will replace him as guv, i would say good riddance. ah wtf, good riddance.

as a cuban gay democrat i'd rather have a hypocrite for senator than the other republican candidate, marco rubio.
that conservative right-wing pretty boy is SCARY and no way represents the views of young floridians of cuban heritage.
hopefully things are changing in florida and we'll elect a democrat for the us senate.

He disgusts me. All the energy people put into worrying about Carrie Prejean should be channeled towards working against this vile piece of shit.
As for his replacement as governor, I'm sure the Bush family has another generation lined up by now to run, don't they?
Sorry Floridians...your state is gross.

Looks like we found the next words -- "my wife Carole" -- for our next drinking game.

Someone should print up "Crist for Senate" t-shirts and bumper stickers with the rainbow flag background. That should get the point across.

Haha he thinks the closet door isn't see-thru but it is.

Paul C: Please enlighten me. Where do you live? I'd love to come visit a place where 100% of the residents acknowledge and accept LGBT people.

Now he has a reason to be out of town; I am sure his buddy, Mark Foley, can line him up some boy toys if he gets elected to the Senate.

@Alex - LOL...if the only thing wrong with Florida was its stance on gay rights, it wouldn't be worth mentioning.
I was thinking more along the lines of its being a sweltering cesspool full of alligators in people's kitchens, cockroaches the size of potatoes, anacondas let loose into one of the many swamps, the worst real estate market in the US, Katherine Harris and at least one branch of the Bush family dynasty, election fraud, the summer home of the CoS, hurricanes and tropical storms, trailer parks full of sex offenders, serial killers (Ted Bundy and Aileen Wuornos to name a few), crazy-high crime rates in general, fucked up hospitals, the whole Terry Schiavo circus, people actually smoking shit (jenkem), childnappings, the whole panhandle area full of rednecks and confederate flags...oh, and closet case Charlie Crist is your governor.
Other than that, I'm sure Florida is lovely.
