The Richards rumor required no instigation from Rove. It grew out of Governor Richard's own peculiar habit of announcing the sexual preference of her political appointments: And today, I announce Texas's 1st openly gay utility commissioner! Gay encomiums coming out of the governor's office were so persistent that years later, at the opening of Houston's Museum of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender History, the exhibit included Governor Richards's letter of commendation to a former Health Department caseworker, aka the drag queen "Lady Victoria Lust."
Texans didn't care if government employees were gay, by they didn't need to know about every appointee's sexual preferences. Richards's insistence on telling them was a strange enough habit to ignite rumors without Rove's intervention.
