Former GOP member and current Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist is preparing to issue a statement that will be a ringing endorsement for gay rights. The blog Raw Story received an advance copy of the statement and it includes calls for employment non-discrimination, adoption rights and inheritance and hospital visitation rights for same-sex couples. He also takes a stance against DADT!
Seems that now Crist has left the Republican party and become an independent he can actually do something for the LGBT citizens of Florida. His recent reversal of conscience may or may not play well with his constituents in his bid for reelection. There is considerable animosity in the LGBT community toward him as many believe he is a closeted gay man. Should be an interesting race for Governor.
