CzechCroatian MP hopeful won't date politcian 'whores': QUICK LOOK: Vinko Kalinic,the Czech Republic'sCroatia's first gay candidate for Parliament, is a former intelligence officerand says he was never romantically involved with a politician,... (MORE)
Sick of politicians so slick and prepackaged that they can talk
endlessly and say almost nothing? Say hello to Vinko Kalinic, the Czech
Republic's Croatia's first openly gay candidate for Parliament. There's no
question whether he poll-tested his answers in this published
interview, including these doozies:
- His favourite colours are rainbow colours.
- Kalinic said he was never romantically involved with a politician, as they are “whores”
- One of the reasons he is running in the north Croatian region of Zagorje is his brief love affair with a man from Varazdin who got him ‘head over heals’ and because of whom he got to love Varazdin and the people of Zagorje
- It was only at 25 years of age that he discovered he was gay, but until then he was totally straight
- Kalinic is attracted to string figures and handsome, manly men such as Prime Minister Ivo Sanader and Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandic, while he dreads, as he says, unsavoury characters such as Social Democrats’ Ljubo Jurcic and Zoran Milanovic, whom he described with “yuck”
Talk about someone who would benefit from some training from the Victory Fund. Either that or he could serve as the ideal example of "what not to do"…

The man is a Libertarian. Article quotes him, "What will you fight for if you make it to parliament and will you fight for the rights of the homosexual community?
I will not because I do not believe in the rights of the homosexual community and I do not want to make a ghetto out of it because I believe in universal human rights"
So much for a Victory Fund or HRC endorsement
