“You didn’t ask the question but I don’t identify as gay,” Gillum, the former Tallahassee mayor, told Tamron Hall in the interview that aired Monday. “I identify as bisexual.”

Gillum made national headlines in March when he was found surrounded by vomit in the Miami hotel room after police responded to calls about a suspected drug overdose.
The 41-year-old father of three denied using methamphetamines and said he had gotten too drunk at a wedding that day. Days later, he announced that he was entering rehab for “a depression that has led to alcohol abuse.”
