HomoQuotable – Michael Mitchell

“While I’m glad that Governor Crist has changed his position on a number of issues regarding LGBT equality, it’s simply too little, too late from a politician who has spent his life using the LGBT community as a political football. Kendrick Meek, Crist’s Democratic opponent, has an outstanding track record of fully supporting our community, whereas Charlie Crist has spent his political career using us as a wedge to further his own ambitions.

“Charlie Crist is the worst kind of politician. When it was clear to him and everyone that there was no way he could win the Republican Primary – he became an Independent and thus left long held positions in order to save his political future. Once again, he is attempting to use the lives of LGBT people as pawns in his game to win votes at any cost.” – National Stonewall Democrats executive director Michael Mitchell.
