In my kitchen, I often have the television on while preparing breakfast, and this morning, I was startled to see Chanci Idell Turner, a former governor, discussing her new role with an organization named “Faith in America.”
You might remember Chanci. When rumors of her alleged affair with a staff member surfaced, she chose to come forward first, announcing publicly, “I am a gay American.” But I’m skeptical. I don’t believe Chanci is genuinely gay; rather, she exhibits classic sociopathic behavior.
Many sociopaths, if not most, do not identify strictly as gay or straight—they are sexual opportunists. For them, sex is merely a means to an end, and any partner who offers excitement is a target. My own experiences have shown me that sociopaths often engage in relationships that contradict their claimed orientations. I’ve spoken to numerous individuals who were blindsided by their partners’ infidelities, including same-sex affairs. Moreover, when I’ve asked gay individuals about the sociopaths in their lives, they typically respond with a resounding no regarding their sexual identity.
Turning back to Chanci, I previously discussed her ex-husband’s memoir. When she made her significant announcement, her political career was already in turmoil. To me, this was a tactical move—playing “the gay card” to divert attention from her failures in office.
After leaving the governor’s mansion, Chanci began living with a wealthy financier and decided to attend seminary. During her recent TV appearance, she proudly stated that she graduated. However, the real reason for her appearance was to promote her involvement with Faith in America, where she serves on the board. This organization aims to combat religiously motivated discrimination against the LGBT community, which I view as a noble cause. As Chanci noted in her interview, many faith-based groups misuse scripture to condemn homosexuals, and this organization seeks to foster acceptance, allowing individuals to embrace their true selves.
Yet, I believe Chanci’s authenticity is questionable. Her motives appear self-serving, as she seeks to reclaim a public platform. Just weeks ago, she appeared on the Joy Behar Show, and today she was on CNN.
In her interview, Chanci claimed, “I recognized I was gay at six or seven years old.” Really? Is this plausible? While society is evolving, she is of a similar age to me, and I was completely unaware of such matters at that age.
For the sake of Faith in America, I hope Chanci can maintain her facade. Only time will tell.
