Charlie Crist: I support gay marriage
The Tampa Bay Times ^ | May 8, 2013 | Adam C. Smith

Potential/likely Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist is taking some heat for having backed a Florida gay marriage ban during his 2006 Republican primary for governor. Tonight he posted the following on Facebook:

Some great news: On Tuesday, Delaware became the 11th state to allow marriage equality. And just a few days ago, Rhode Island adopted a similar measure, which followed victories last fall in Maine, Maryland and Washington. I most certainly support marriage equality in Florida and look forward to the day it happens here.

Seems to us he still has some explaining to do about his position. Was it an evolution or an acknowledgement that he felt the need to discard his true feelings in '06 to avoid antagonizing social conservatives? Crist back then called himself a "live and let live" Republican and at one point suggested he backed civil unions.....

Does he support two men in prison on death row getting married and sharing a cell?

Yeah, we know, Charlie. This is.. what.. the 39th time you’ve made that announcement. Is there something else you’d like to announce as well?

Crist , look you surprise no one, you and your ilk can shout as much as you want about this sham marriage but it doesn’t make it right or change my mind or my family.

he supports marriage equality, then so do I, OK when can some have more than one wife, when can others have their kind of marriage Crist, yes you dope fairy boy, equality means anything to all.

You mean lindsy grahm? Not only does cc support gay’s, he supports king hussein too. But that’s redundant.

From wiki:

Crist became engaged to Carole Rome on July 3, 2008 after 9 months of dating, and was married on December 12 of that year.

But don't let the being married thing fool ya, just like slick willie and cankles it's just a business arrangement for political purposes.

Ten bucks says that Charlie’s been “married” numerous times...always in men’s rooms stalls and always for a few minutes at a time.

wow, this is about as surprising as when that guy Jim Parsons on the sitcom “big bang theory” came out of the closet a year or so ago. It didn’t even make a blip on the radar screen. Most people would have been more surprised if he WASN’T gay. lol

I’m surprised that his sham marriage has lasted this long.

She must travel a lot.
