"You're always going to have someone complaining, but it's a low minority of people who might pick on others for being a different color, or different race or different whatever.'' "We come from all over the country, from every walk of life,'' said Ed Sullivan, president of the Villages Republican Club of Sumter County. To hear residents tell it, the esprit de corps in the Villages transcends other differences. Are you kidding? It's made for lesbians.'' "The guys are more interested in fine dining and going to theaters and shows, so they gravitate toward bigger cities,'' said Wendy O'Donnell, who started the Rainbow club with her partner Peggy Garvin. (It's also why lesbians say they far outnumber gay men here.) Turns out, the amenities that brought in scores of Midwesterners and other retirees are the same things that attracted so many lesbians. The answers are sensible, almost disappointingly so. Why has this barely caused a blip in a community where a Democratic official says congressional leader Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was once spat at? How did the gay community feel comfortable enough to throw weekly dance parties at a country club?ģ. What would possess so many gays to live in a rabidly right-wing community?Ģ. This leads to increasingly incredulous questions:ġ. The Rainbow club has no head count - years of discrimination have made the gay community leery of lists - but emails reach close to 2,000. Widely known as a critical voting bloc for right-wing candidates, it is also, less conspicuously, home to a thriving gay community.
The Villages, located between Ocala and Orlando, is a self-contained playground to more than 100,000 mostly white, mostly retired, mostly Republican residents. The men face burglary charges, while Harrington is looking at another stretch inside for his actions.Call it inexplicable, or call it encouraging, the folks of the Rainbow Family & Friends club call it home.
“They broke in my front door, so I broke in their back doors!” The Wolfman is said to told police on his arrest. Five days of being raped by a man mountain is a bit much, isn’t it? Though we tend to think that a spell in prison is probably more fair. What they went through is inexcusable, but many online commentators are saying that they deserved some kind of retribution for their crimes. Police only intervened after a neighbor heard the men’s cries for help and called them.Īs you can see from their mug shots below, the men were extremely traumatized by their ordeal.
Harrington, known as ‘ The Wolfman‘, easily overpowered the men, tied them up and assaulted them for five full days. But that’s just what Morgan and Gorton did that fateful night. An aggressive and predatory offender, he’s not the kind of man you want to annoy. He’s a notorious gay s*x predator who has served time in jail for numerous sexual assaults.
Harry Harrington is 6’7″ and weighs over 300lbs. But it’s unlikely they’ll go back to crime after the nasty episode they experienced in the home of one Florida man… Garfield Morgan, 54, and his 36 year old accomplice friend Kim Gortonare both career burglars, having stolen from hundreds of homes in their lives. Two burglarsgot more than they bargained for recently after picking the wrong house to break into.
