Florida’s One Weird Place

Bill McCollum

Before getting caught returning from a European vacation with a gay escort George Rekers apparently made a nice living as an expert on the evils of homosexuality.

In fact, back in 2008, Bill McCollum, Florida’s attorney general who is now the leading Republican candidate for Governor, paid Rekers at least $60,000 in taxpayer funds to serve as an expert witness on homosexuality as McCollum was defending the state’s law banning adoptions by gay couples.
