2004 With his wife standing by his side, McGreevey -- a father of two -- spoke in calm tones as he described his struggle with his sexuality, "a certain sense that separated me from others." It was something that he said began as a child. My truth is that I am a gay American, http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles...as_nj_governor/ Wow, He had to resign after an affair with a male security aid, It was nice for him to step out of the closet so to speak. But what a way to do it, can you imagine your hetrosexual marriage partner walking up to you and your kids and announcing "Im Gay" and the crushing blow to the family by coming out.. :mellow: I think its great he's being honest, but I feel for his family. Whats your take in the subject? Gay stickers and what they mean: http://jasewells.com/gayicons/ I know its old news but news just the same..

It's traumatic to deal with a disruption in the family, but to deal with it in front of the world. I feel contempt for the gov. He should have dealt with his crap on his own. He did the adultry, it was his issue not the family's.

He was going down for coruption and neglegence charges and found it more convenient to out himself (a fact most people in NJ already knew) rather than face the music. He hid behind his homosexuality.

In the first place, he was caught. He didn't just decide to walk out of the closet one day. He probably would have survived that though. New Jersey isn't Utah. What got him nailed was the fact that he appointed his male lover as State Director of Homeland Security, a job for for which Brownie had more qualifications. And this after 9/11! Even the leading family in New Jersey (the Sopranos) thought that was too much! They made him an offer. He didn't refuse it. Still feel sorry for him? (He never mentioned any of this in his "retirement" speech. The family was there for show, don't you think?) The reason it is news again is that he just came out with a book and is on tour touting it. Self-promotion seems boundless.
