They would be touting that their child that they raised was working with them. I know numerous gay men and lesbians raising children, whether they’re their biological, adopted or foster children, and I can tell you, NOT A SINGLE ONE HIDES that they have children, or refers to them as “local students” or “pages” or whatever.
If this child truly were the “light of his life”–as a child he was raising–why would he not mention him before publicly? Did his voters know about Nestor? Matt Gaetz is not this young man’s legal guardian! He didn’t adopt him, he doesn’t appear to have been fostering him, and if he was a close adult friend who shaped the young man’s life and considers him a son, why didn’t he mention him before? Gaetz didn’t even mention him in his online and Congressional biographies.
