[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so confused by this. I think it's wonderful to adopt. I am not a homophobe who looks askance when single men adopt!

Why was Gaetz hiding his kid in such a weird way all this time?![/quote]

When this “adoption” of a 12-year-old Cuban immigrant happened, Matt was 27 with a DUI or two. I’m [i]highly[/i] skeptical. What agency or program would allow this?[/quote]

All this says to me is that Matt Gaetz is gay. I guess it also says he groomed this poor boy.

So basically peak gooper.[/quote]

I really hate that people are saying this. Let's say Gaetz was gay - he apparently helped encourage his father to legalize adoption to gay families in Florida: http://www.panhandlepolitico.com/escambia-news/gaetz-gay-adoption/ - that has nothing to do with adoption a child, or having a secret child, or being a pedophile.

There is nothing wrong with being gay. 
There is nothing wrong adopting a kid. 
There is nothing wrong with gay people adopting kids.

[b]Why be so secretive about his son for so long? And how was he able to do this legally? [/b]

And make a 12 YO a target for liberal crazies on social media and elsewhere?

I can see why he kept it under wraps.  The internet has not been kind to kids of politicians.  [/quote]

He wasn’t a politician then.  No one knew who he was.[/quote]

From the Heavy article linked above:

[quote]Gaetz has been in the public eye since at least 2010. He served in the Florida House of Representatives for six years before he was elected to Congress in 2016, as noted on his website. But he says he chose to keep his father-son relationship with Galban out of the spotlight to protect the teen’s privacy.

Gaetz told People, “Just imagine: You’re 12 years old, your mom has just died, you’re learning English as you’re trying to get your footing in school. It just wasn’t the right time in middle school and high school to subject him to politics.”

But Gaetz pushed back on the idea that he had somehow been trying to “hide” Galban. Gaetz told the magazine that family members, friends, church members and other parents at Galban’s school knew Gaetz was raising Galban as his son.
