We know a kid who attended FSU around the time of the first DeSantis for Governor campaign. He said it was widely-known in Tallahassee that Gillum (Mayor of Tallahassee at the time) was a practicing out-of-the-closet homosexual.
This kid was stunned that absolutely no news outlet ever mentioned this. And Gillum’s campaign did not try to use it as an argument to vote Gillum.
BTW - Gillum winning the Democrat nomination was a really slickly-engineered thing. Gwen Graham (daughter of former Governor and former US Senator) Bob Graham looked like a shoe-in. The Bernie Sanders people got on-board for Gillum and Gwen Graham was SHOCKED to learn she was lost bigly.
Supposedly Gillium was getting a lot of money from some BS org that was really Soros backed.
He was asked point blank by local news person and he didn’t answer. The local paper covered for him too. It was blatant. The guy literally did nothing while serving in Tallahassee. Some of his followers were trying to prop him up as the next Obama.
