Too many restrictions on ol' Nestor and he may not continue to agree to be Gaetz's "son."

and he has even been living with him.

He only brings up this "son" when he wants to score some political point.

Good for him then.

I had heard he had adopted him as an adult and they look pretty close in age.

Which is something gay couples used to have to do to legally share a household.

Gaetz just calls Nestor his "son," but Gaetz is not Nestor's father.
Nestor’s biological father is alive and lives in Miami. Gaetz told Heavy magazine that Nestor lived with his biological father in Miami during his junior year of high school. https://heavy.com/news/nestor-galban-2/

Especially if they have their own money.

I knew I could trust my kids to make better decisions by that age.

Entitled slurping sounds of consumption was not a life goal.

All I can think of is to promote opening up Florida from Covid restrictions.

But he could have just said that Nestor went to Panama City. He didn't have to say he "let him go".
