AUSTIN, Texas - A few years back, in a "Naked City" column published by the Austin Chronicle, hay was made about rumors moving across this city regarding Republican Gov. Rick Perry's sexuality, namely asking the question: Is he Gay?
Local bloggers went wild with the story, leading Perry to seek an interview with the mainstream Austin American-Statesman in which he stayed on topic and said he was not Gay. The tales told about Perry's alleged dalliances were lurid in nature, although little came from his wife when some reported that she'd caught him with another man in a somewhat compromising position. In town, pro-Gay groups marched to the governor's mansion and held a rally, loudly informing Perry that it was okay to be Gay, urging him to come out of the closet.
That was the last Texas sex scandal.
Perry remains in office and is said to be a contender for the Republican Party's presidential nomination in the 2012 race against sitting President Barack Obama. It's too early - and he has yet to announce - to wonder about whether the Gay rumors will re-surface. They will, of course. Perry has made much of his public morality the centerpiece of his governorship, a posture that of late has included his zealous pursuit of the Sonogram Bill as a requirement for Texas women getting abortions.
The governor's rumors are in sharp contrast to the volcanic roiling going on within the scandal involving U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, a Democrat from New York's 9th District whose life has been turned upside down by his admission to sexting racy photos of himself to a variety of women not his wife.
It's all part of American Society. Freedom also allows for citizens to be free to be stupid. Weiner's fate is still up in the air. He has said he won't resign and his colleagues in Congress wish he would. Life in the National Fishbowl always brings out the best in scandal and hypocrisy. Remember Wilbur Mills, Rita Jenrette, Donna Rice, John Ensign, Gary Hart, Mark Foley?
Perhaps that is why those many Texans who chase Rick Perry's private life, who want to unmask his true sexuality, are chomping at the bit, hoping he does seek the presidency and is forced to throw open his closet.
It's too juicy of a story for Texans to merely let it go...

Rick perry's going nowhere. He is the male Palin, a hick. LOL!!!
Does he have any children, I have never seen Rick Perry in a family picture. Watch out with these religious freaks, many have skeletons in the closet.
There are no children in the Perry family. His wife is hot, tho. But GAY IS GAY. LOL!!!
No brainer on Rick Perry being GAY. You can see it in him. It was all over Austin in 2005 when I lived there.
ALL TROLLS:...Those comments arriving here bearing idiocies will not be posted. Have your say, but do it in a civilized manner... - Editor
No question Rick Perry is Gay. none at all.
Sarah Palin ain't going nowhere either. she's a loser. doesn't know her history. Is stupid.
The San Antonio Express had an article, about Perry attending a Gay convention in Some place in Missippi.
He made up some story, but hell, something tells me there is more to the story.
MR. Editor, there is new blog in Harlingen, man, have they been giving Chapa and his fake bloggers a beating.
Juan Ortega, has been taking a pounding to. He is such an idiot, he thinks when people chastise him. They are complenting him.
Nothing but low-life morons. Nothing but news releases and made up comments. Sonso, indios Nacos sonsos, pata rajadas.
Huummmm, wonder when someone will come out and speak, about a meeting somewhere, with the Rickster Perrion...Something tells me, it is just a matter of time.
Mr. Editor, I have a quiz for you, if you answer the five questions I am posing, you get a 100.
Here we go:
1. Who lives in Harlingen and operates a rag line blog?
2. Who is not register to vote and edorses candidates??
3. Who has 5 fake bloggers and clamis that has 1,500 facebook friends??
4. Who speaks about other people and has skeletons in his closet??
5. Who is married to a big cholona and has a friend, that wants desperately and passionately??
6. Who begs Benton to write articles and kisses Juan Ortega's Hinie for comments??
If you answered jakester, wrong, I give you a guess, his intials are T/C. Okay, you made a 100
In 2002 /2003 a rumor was circulating about he had a boyfriend in the San Antonio area. Anyone ever heard that one? Supposedly, one of his security men was telling the story.
