Re: McGreevey (Gov. of NJ) Just came out of the closet
I totally think he did the right thing. Coming out so he cant be blackmailed.

I think that it was the smart thing to do. I just wonder what he and his wife are going to do now.

Re: McGreevey (Gov. of NJ) Just came out of the closet

Re: McGreevey (Gov. of NJ) Just came out of the closet
DH just called me and told me Seriously (and I'm not making a joke about it) my husband thought it was a joke at first, mainly because it seemed so bizarre to hear this man resigning b/c he was "coming out" ..
I guess there is far more to this story than we know about yet, but really you have to feel for the wife/kids in the situation no matter what else you think about it

Re: McGreevey (Gov. of NJ) Just came out of the closet
She was standing next to him as he made the announcement...
Such a difficult situation. He obviously has been hididng this for a long time - not only from everyone, but I think from himself as well. He must be in such torment.....
Granted, he should not have gotten married....but still, I feel for gay people who have to hide because of the reactions of people in this world....I can't imagine what that must feel like.
I still dont' understand why he can't be a Gay Govenor!!!

DITTO, Lori! I simply don't get the correlation between saying "I AM A PROUD GAY AMERICAN" , yet NOW I MUST RESIGN..
[sorry for screaming  ]
Extramarrital affairs of any type haven't completely ruined other peoples political careers (see Clinton..) so why is this the REASON to resign?
ETA: I don't know about your offices (For those who are working) but this news is the biggest talk of our firm right now!

Re: McGreevey (Gov. of NJ) Just came out of the closet
Apparently a lawsuit is going to be filed in Nj today by a male Homeland Security cabinet member accusing him of unwated or inappropriate sexual conduct ...
He stated he felt breaking his marriage vows (not being gay) was his reason for resignation ... that he was being dishonest & lying to the public (or something to that effect, don't quote me!)

Re: McGreevey (Gov. of NJ) Just came out of the closet
When I say putting his wife and kid life in danger I meant , he knew that he was gay. But lived a double life engaging in extramarital sex with partners that could possibly have an illness or disease that trusting wife at home could have caught and passed on unknowingly to thier child. This happens so often..Cheating comes with bigger risks than alot of people realize.
I saw this documentary on HBO about ladies who's partners cheated..some with men..some with women and i felt so sad for them, but the saddest was the woman who found out she was pregnant and went to do a blood test. She was HIV positive. She had never cheated on her husband but he was bisexual and never told her so she could make an informed decision. So she lived long enough to bury their child and to hear his confession.

that i could understand....but as it is now...they're making it sound like he's resigning because he's gay.....and that really bugs me!
why would his being gay or having an affair reflect badly on his politics?
sexual harassment, that's another story!

Re: McGreevey (Gov. of NJ) Just came out of the closet
Can I get political for a second? There are politicians and even world leaders that have done horrendous acts. We're talking corruption, assasinations, bombings, and much worse!!!! This poor guys has a tryst with another guy and he resigns? Even the fact that he was honest about it and didnt bow down (no pun intended) to the blackmailers show show how honest he is. It really is a shame.

exactly, and well put.
All any of us are hearing initially is that McGreevey resigned because he is gay... that is just a stupid way that the news agencies are posting it .. so he says he's not resigning BECAUSE he is GAY, he CLAIMS he is resigning due to his infidelities... (which isn't the entire truth either, if the sexual harrassment claims hold up)
my entire point being that I don't like that they are saying he is resigning because he is GAY .. that's all any of us are hearing off the bad. And that just seems hurtful to the gay community in general

Re: McGreevey (Gov. of NJ) Just came out of the closet
OMG How horrible for the family and for him to have to go through this in public!! It is so sad that he felt he just couldn't live openly as a gay man
