Congratulations, Charlie Crist! Not only did you marry your sweetheart (read: politically convienent trophy bride) Carole Rome, you also managed to out-fake-tan the bride.
Fortunately for Christ’s wedding guests (which included Geraldo Rivera), looking for something to distract them from His Orangeness’ glow was easy with the approximately 250 protesters outside St. Petersburg’s First Methodist Church on Saturday, bearing signs reading “Congratulations Governor Crist. When can I get married?” and shouting “Justice! Now!” throughout the ceremony. The Governor tepidly supported Ammendment 2, which banned same-sex marriage in Florida.
Because we don’t want to blind you, we’re eschewing photos of the bride and groom for a gallery of the plucky nuptial protest, organized by Impact Florida, after the jump.
Woof
How long before he is busted for sucking cock in a public restroom?

Charlie Crist is far too classy a man to be on his knees in some filthy restroom for a stranger.
He might be in the closet but he ain’t going out like that.
adzomelk
oh no hes not ive seen many a class whore fall on their knees in public toilets why they do it all the time crist wont be any different how pathetic is that

I always find it telling when people get obsessed with “outing” other people they suspect of being… you know something shameful. Right? It’s only interesting if its something shameful. Well, I don’t feel ashamed of being gay and I take no interest or pleasure in all the haters whose own internalized homophobia (concealed beneath twisted logic about politics) is really the issue, not Crist’s sexuality. Man in the mirror, as Jacko would say. Oh but he’s hiding something shameful, too. Shame shame shame.

Jesus Mary, his internalized homophobia is what causes him to have nightmares, look longingly at the kielbasa in his freezer, and marry what looks like a drag queen muppet. That’s an issues for this therapist, not for us. Our interest is exposing (or at least waiting for him in his carelessness to expose) his hypocrisy, and fall from grace where he can no longer support homophobic measures. And you’re right: That isn’t an issue…it’s an inevitability.

@Michael W.: One wouldn’t necessarily suspect Larry Craig of being the sort to kneel in piss for a complete stranger…but there you are. Can’t tell just by looking.
Having said that, Crist might be bi. Some people are, you know. Not, of course, that this would ever stop him cheating on his wife with a man (or several). And it would still make him a hypocrite for craply supporting Amendment 2. Just saying that there’s more to men marrying women than “straight” and “closet case”

I don’t think that bathroom sex necessarily has anything to do with “class’ as much as it stricks me as being kind of a fetish. Charlie is the one who’ll have to be eating nooky from now on, and it’s probably not a fetish for him.
Outing has to do with hypocrisy : nothing else. that should be clear by now.
M Shane
p.s. It should be really most worrisome to most queer folks that there is , probably because of the insistance on assimilation, a grave increase in homophobia.

I seriously hope that wasn’t a Freudian slip calling Crist Christ (at your second mention of the governor). Hahhahahaha.
seitan-on-a-stick
Whether or not the Crisco Governor is Out or In as far as his widely rumored homesexuality and guessing where he will be caught first performing oral sex (New York!) is not so much the issue as the fact that he votes as a homophobic. Surely, the Florida Democrats can run a credible Gubernatorial candidate who is the anti-Crist!
According To Joey
I personally hope he’s straight. Save the gay community some rest stop nightmares. The last thing I want to see is staring down at some old ass orange with white mold hair massaging my cock with his dentures. Oy vay!

@Woof: January 18th.
@Jesus Mary: The point is, it’s shameful to HIM.

Does anyone know for sure that he’s gay? Without any proof, what is the basis for saying he is?
Mark
Puh-lease.
Crist did this PURELY for political gain. He’s a Republican, for god’s sake. They NEVER EVER EVER EVER do anything so publically unless it’s for political gain – especially someone like Crist who is a known homosexual.
Anyone who defends him is simply not aware of his past, the boyfriend who was arrested, or is simply ashamed of their own behavior and are trying to deflect OUR attention away from his.
We know better. WE KNOW WHO THIS MAN IS. I suspect his new beard is well-aware of his ‘proclivities’, too. If she’s not, she soon will be.

I wonder if Dina McGreevey was the maid of honor.

@Brian:
“I wonder if Dina McGreevey was the maid of honor.”
That honor probably went to her husband, James. 😉

What a bunch of stright haters. A bunch of straightaphobics, you are so concerend about being accepted that you will bash a guy because he’s gay or not, or is hiding by getting married. He believes in marriage being between a man and a woman, and being he was VOTED in as gov, so do the majority of the people in FL. I’m sure one day it will be leagal, but it isn’t yet. Leave the poor guy alone, straight haters!
