I'll never figure out why gay people have wives and kids. Selfish *******s

taking up our available women

but seriously, it is wrong to treat your family like this.

I can't even figure out how they have sex with their own wife and manage to ejaculate.

He's quite possibly bi, to start with ...

Leaving aside his gayness, isn't this guy dirty about 12-ways to Sunday?

Gotta love New Jersey politics. And only a couple years after the Sleazeball Senator was exposed...

[Dis]

then he wouldn't have said he was gay.

what if he just made it up to gather sympathies from the (liberal US mid-atlantic) public, therefore trying to avoid getting flak from the corruption charges (which will now be completely forgotten because of the massive media spin)?

I don't think he made it up... there have been rumors about this for a while.

Well... yes.

Btw, CNN's article on this:

(CNN) -- Dropping a political bombshell, New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey announced his resignation Thursday after revealing that he is gay and that he carried on an adulterous affair with a man.

With his wife standing quietly 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.

"At a point in every person's life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one one's soul and decide one's unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is," McGreevey, a Democrat, said.

"And so, my truth is that I am a gay American," McGreevey said.

Speaking at a packed news conference in the Statehouse in Trenton, New Jersey, McGreevey admitted to an affair with a man and asked for his family's forgiveness.

"It was wrong. It was foolish. It was inexcusable," he said.

And McGreevey said he was stepping down from the state's highest office.

'"Given the circumstances surrounding the affair and its likely impact upon my family and my ability to govern, I have decided the right course of action is to resign," McGreevey said.

His resignation will take effect November 15, and State Senate President Richard Codey, a fellow Democrat, will serve the the remainder of his term, which ends in January 2006.

If McGreevey's resignation had taken effect before September 15, state law would have required a special gubernatorial election on November 2.

McGreevey said his affair and sexuality -- "if kept secret" -- would leave the governor's office "vulnerable to rumors, false allegations and threats of disclosure."

Even as he acknowledged his sexuality, McGreevey spoke of the "suffering and anguish" he had brought to his family and friends, saying he would "almost rather have this moment pass.

"For this is an intensely personal decision and not one typically for the public domain," McGreevey said of his revelation. "Yet, it cannot and should not pass."

Once considered a rising star in Democratic circles, McGreevey, 47, served in the state Legislature and as mayor of the town of Woodbridge, New Jersey before winning the governorship.

McGreevey won the seat in 2001 by a wide margin over former Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler and took office in January 2002.

His administration has been buffeted by some scandal.

A Quinnipiac University poll released August 4 showed McGreevey's approval among state voters fell sharply after two Democratic fund-raisers were indicted on federal charges in July -- one of them accused of lining up prostitutes to discredit a witness in a tax fraud investigation, the other accused of extortion.

McGreevey and his wife, Dina, have a 2-year-old daughter, and he has another daughter from a previous marriage

It's called society.

Not knowing what this is about, is he resigning because he is gay? Like omg another sex-scandal in the US.
Reminds me of the 50ties to be honest.

He must've forgotten that in 2004, we're not allowed to make jokes about gays under any circumstances.

Either that, or you have something stuck up an intimate place of yours.

Maybe a bit of both.

[mrmitchell]

Just goes to show that Democrats are perverts!

In other words, Diplomat thinks all gays are perverts?

I don't think he needs to continue posting in this thread, we already see his point
