Back in May I did a POST about Father Alberto Cutié - a Catholic priest with a large radio and television following who was caught canoodling with a woman in Miami. After the media exposed Cutié's "romance", he left the Catholic church, married the woman, and became an Episcopal minister.
But José Linares Suarez, Cutie's radio-show producer, told TV y Novelas that Alberto Cutié is actually gay. AND HE'S A CHUBBY CHASER! From Boy Culture:
Suarez says Cutie's sexuality is well known to those around him, that he lived with a priest who was his lover for two years and, most specifically that he had a younger (36 or 37), chubby lover named Leonardo who would arrive to Cutie's quarters late at night. Once, Suarez walked in on Cutie and Leonardo, finding the younger man's pants down as Cutie caressed his genitals. Cutie asked for discretion, which Suarez apparently provided—until now.
One of my coworkers actually told me about the gay angle of this story before I read about it on the internet. My coworker is a straight man who was born in Columbia, and had heard that the whole marriage was set up to save Cutié's reputation. Cutié is extremely well-known among Latinos, and the gossip is that Father Cutié wanted to put the gay rumors to rest so he could continue his job as a celebrity minister. This, of course, would have been impossible if it was known to be gay. It's a sad thing, but in today's society it's OK to be an adulterer, just not a GAY adulterer. Hello, Mark Sanford!!
But seriously, if Father SuperCutie wants to leave religion and get with someone who is SuperChubby, I am SO available...
