Seattle’s Fox affiliate reports:
Embattled former Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz is still fighting accusations of sexual harassment, sexual discrimination and “grooming” female cops — but in his only sit-down interview since he was forced to resign, Diaz announced he is gay.
Diaz was on The Jason Rantz Show on Monday, where he said that recent events essentially forced him to publicly out himself as gay.
“It’s a story that [I’ve] struggled with, over the last four years, that I’m a gay Latino man,” said Diaz in the interview with Rantz. “You know, it doesn’t bother me. It’s more of my concern for my kids because they’re going to have to deal with a lot of the struggles that I might not have to deal with.”
PubliCola reports:
Former police chief Adrian Diaz told conservative talk-radio host Jason Rantz that he is a “gay Latino man,” and suggested that being gay means that he could not have acted inappropriately toward any of the women who have charged him with sexual harassment, discrimination, and creating a hostile work environment toward women and Black officers.
Diaz, 46, has a wife and three kids; in the interview, he said he and his wife have been sleeping in separate parts of the house for a long time.
Over and over, Diaz and Rantz returned to the idea that gay men can’t sexually harass or assault women. “He had a clear defense against claims he wanted to sleep with a female officer, but the question was when he would go public,” Rantz wrote.
The former police chief is indeed saying that because he is gay, he could not have harassed or discriminated against women, according to the right-wing talk show host he chose to come out publicly to. https://t.co/NRfpbzP0jG
