New Book Seeks To Revive Old Rumors About Perry's Sexuality
The first openly gay state representative in Texas has published a collection of rumors surrounding Rick Perry’s sexual orientation.
This was in the 2000s maybe 03.
Perry’s presidential campaign was ready to fight such rumors if they resurfaced this year, Politico reported in June.
The rumors first began circulating in the mid-2000s, and several blogs picked it up, and gay activists even staged a so-called “support rally” for Perry, which did attract media attention, according to the Austin Chronicle.
In 2004, Perry held a news conference to deny rumors that his wife Anita caught Perry having sex with then-Texas Secretary of State Geoff Connor.
