I see a bit of a tiff with Dan Savage and Ta-Neisha Coates regarding handling the sexual orientation of Florida Governor and newly minted Senate candidate Charlie Crist — seen here posing with a football in his hand.

Actually I think his candidacy should be seen as a sign of pogress.  Charlie Crist is an openly closteted gay man, not afraid of hiding his closeted homosexuality, fully embracing it — denying that he’s gay with a wink and a nod.  The fact that the NRSC has fully endorsed an openly closeted gay man is a sign of how far they’ve come and are going in acceptance of the closeted gay lifestyle.  As well, the voters in Florida, who have him up 2 to 1 against the potential Democratic challenger with their full awareness of Crist’s closeted sexuality.  What’s more, the right flank that make up those Republican primary voting detractors, lining up behind Marco Rubio’s campaign and upset with the NRSC’s endorsement of Crist, are not making Charlie Crist’s openly closeted sexual preferences an issue, even though they know he is a closeted gay man — more concerned with Crist’s acceptance of the Obama backed Stimulus Package and some scattered social issues.  Also interesting to note the liberal blog dailykos’s egging on of Rubio’s campaign much interested in the issue.
