Well, so much for that campaign.
Thurston, a Democratic candidate for Florida Attorney General........................
Since Democrat Perry Thurston was elected to the Florida House of Representatives District 93 in 2006, an examination of his campaign finance records showed a pattern of expenditures to at least two anti-gay churches in Pompano Beach.
The Sun-Sentinel reported that the pastor of that church, Anthony Burrell, was active in the 2008 effort that added the ban on same-sex marriage in Florida. Another, arguably more disturbing donation, was made last year to Rev. O’Neal Dozier Ministries. That donation, however, was a mere $250, which paid for an ad celebrating the pastor’s anniversary and birthday.
Dozier is well-known for his anti-gay rhetoric. In January, liberal magazine Mother Jones reported that Dozier referred to homosexuality as "something so nasty and disgusting that it makes God want to vomit."
The House’s top Democrat said he did not vote on a much-anticipated bill offering in-state tuition to undocumented students because he was “out of place.”
When the vote was taken on the bill, HB 851, after lengthy debate, Minority Leader Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale, was off the House floor and records show he was a “no” vote.
“I was just out of place, I’m totally in support of that bill,” he said.
Must be a boyfriend of Harry Reid.
