Via TPM:
Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (D) apologized for supporting legislation that banned same-sex marriage.
In an interview with LGBT news outlet Watermark Online, Crist was asked about his support for adding a ban on same-sex marriage to Florida’s constitution.
“I’m sorry I did that,” Crist said in the report published Thursday. “It was a mistake. I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
Watermark then pressed Crist to elaborate on his position and discuss moving to support same-sex marriage.
“I made a mistake. I’m not perfect… please don’t hold me to that standard. And I’m sincerely sorry. I understand when it’s necessary to say I was wrong. That‘s the journey I’m on… and I’m still on it,” Crist added. “As a Republican, on social issues I always felt I was a round peg in a square hole. I just didn’t fit. But I tried, until I couldn’t do it any more… until I had to say, ‘Enough is enough.’”
