blink.gif The governor of New Jersey, James McGreevey, just announced that he is gay and had an affair with a man. He is resigning on November 15th. He is married and I believe has a child.


What do you think about this?

I think because he is gay he should not feel forced to resign and this should not affect who votes for him next time, i think it is stupid, but hey you cant help the people vote..

Aw, that's pretty sad that he has to resign. If that's the lifestyle that makes him happy, then good for him. It's better than him living a lie.

Psh!
He shouldn't resign!
Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of or anything like that.
Sheesh!

He found something shameful in breaking his marriage vows; he committed adultery.

I heard about this on NPR in the car with my mom. Personally, I feel bad for his family because I'm sure this is really shocking and upsetting for them. I don't think it's a big deal that he's gay, just that he was having an affiar.

*shrugs*

I think mostly he is ashamed from committing adultery... but I don't think he's ashamed in being gay, or else why would he announce it publicly?

But to those that have not read the article, the Governor OPPOSED same-sex marriages throughout his campaign in 2002.

The subtitle of the article also suggests that he is resigning and announcing his sexuality before an "expected sex-harassment lawsuit".

spam. hammer.gif no spamming please happy.gif

anyways. WOAH... dang... blink.gif i have no words to say... except... that's really wrong to oppose same-sex marriages and be gay, no? I dont know... it's just... hypocritical in a way. I didnt even hear about this on the news (maybe its ebcause i dont even watch the news _dry.gif )

I wonder how to wife and kids are taking it in? blink.gif that really sucks though. I mean, i bet the kids are getting teased at school and stuff cry.gif

That is what I don't understand. He opposed to same sex marriages when he himself is gay. blink.gif When he announced he was gay, his wife was right next to him and she seemed very supportive. It must be real hard on his family and wife.

I remember watching the news and seeing this and just being in complete shock. He was a really good governor, and it is a shame that he had to resign for being gay.

No. didnt he resigned because he commited adultery since he cheated on his family. he didnt resigned because of his homosexuality. blink.gif

Even though this article was years ago, it's pretty interesting and new to me. haha. Not to mentioned the east side of u.s is conservative and generally oppose homosexuality. He's gay himself who oppose the same sex marriage. laugh.gif
