Carroll begs pardon for ‘lesbians don’t look like me’ remark

Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll sent a letter of apology to a gay rights group that had criticized her response to allegations of improper activity. Carroll was accused by a former staff who is facing criminal charges of an improper relationship with another aide, who is also female. Carroll has strongly denied the allegation, and during one TV interview with WJXT in Jacksonville said “black women  that look like me don’t engage in relationships like that.” That led to criticism of stereotyping by a gay rights organization, and Carroll sent the group a letter Thursday to apologize.  “It is wrong and inexcusable to make a comment that hurts people, and that was not my intention,” Carroll wrote in the letter to Equality Florida that was also reported on . “As a Christian, my faith guides me to love and respect all people. The false charges that have been lodged against me are no excuse for what I have said.”
