Sunday morning on the way to the Parade:
This guy (Matthew Titone) was trawling the ferry, shaking babies and kissing hands, asking everyone who looked even REMOTELY gay to support him for State Senate.
Stephen and I were standing with my friend Kemp when he came over, pushing (campaign) buttons, and went through his schpiel. Kemp was like, "But why should I vote for you; what to you stand for"? Mr Titone gave him the worst possible answer: Because I’m the GAY candidate. Kemp told him to keep the button. now, to be fair, i am paraphrasing. he didn't actually say that, but he also didn't answer Kemp. he asked him "what do you think i stand for; Santa Claus for President and Mickey Mouse for Mayor. i stand for the same things you do".
we saw him later that day marching in the parade with some of the other politic-rates. it took me a couple of days to compose this letter which i e-mailed to him this morning:
Mr Titone,
It’s truly appalling how you slithered your way around the SI Ferry Terminal on Sunday, surrounded by your small go-go boy entourage, touting yourself as the only “openly gay” candidate running for State Senate. If you’re so “openly gay” as you claim, why is there no mention of it on your website? There is no mention of where you stand on Gay Marriage, Adoption, or Hate Crimes. While at the ferry, you were asked by several people what your platform was. Your answers were vague, non-committal and downright infantile. Your attitude seemed to be “I’m gay, you’re gay, why wouldn’t you vote for me”. with your unctuous manner, lascivious leer, shifty eyes, and inability to voice a platform on gay issues (or any issues, for that matter), you’ve definitely failed to garner my trust. Till now, I had absolutely no interest in the campaign for State Senator. You’ve now insured that my vote will certainly go to whomever opposes you
