Former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum has come out as bisexual.
He made the announcement during an interview aired Monday on the “Tamron Hall Show,†saying, “I don’t identify as gay, but I do identify as bisexual. That is something that I have never shared publicly before.â€
Gillum’s disclosure is the latest in a string of candid remarks from the once-rising political star whose life took a different direction in 2018 when he lost the election for Florida governor. Since that loss, the former mayor of Tallahassee focused his efforts on engaging voters and increasing voter registration.

The Diceman said it best..."You either do or you don't, there is no in-between." (My version is a bit cleaner than he put in, LOL!)

I'm with Andrew Dice Clay on that, and I recall the exact quote. :laugh:

....and to think that DeSantis won over this clown by less than 1%.
It continues to be a very very sad day in America. God help us!

Andrew Gillum says he identifies as bisexual

Washington (CNN)Andrew Gillum, the former Democratic candidate for governor of Florida, revealed in an interview released Monday that he identifies as bisexual.
"To be very honest with you, when you didn't ask the question, you put it out there is whether or not I identify as gay. And the answer is I don't identify as gay, but I do identify as bisexual, and that is something that I have never shared publicly before," Gillum told journalist Tamron Hall in a candid interview on her eponymously named talk show.
The emotional interview with Gillum, a former CNN contributor, centered on a February incident in which he was found "inebriated" by police who were responding to a "possible drug overdose" in a Miami hotel room he was in, according to a police report.
The police report said that officers, who told CNN at the time that they were not currently pursuing criminal charges, arrived to the scene just after midnight and found Gillum and a second person, Aldo Mejias, in the hotel room. Gillum apologized at the time, and announced the following month that he would be entering rehab.
"Everyone believes the absolute worst about that day. At this stage, I don't have anything else to have to conceal," Gillum said in the interview. "I literally got broken down to my most bare place, to the place where I wasn't even sure that I wanted to live. Not because of what I had done but because of everything that was being said about me."
