OUT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS
Normally I would applaud the coming out of a gay politician. In the case of Governor McGreevey however, it seems to be a case of damage control. I suspect he would have kept up his charade as long as he could have. An honest politician is tantamount to an oxymoron, and we as a culture half expect to be lied to. Unfortunately Mr. McGreevey has hurt the gay community more than he ever could have helped it by being openly gay from the start.
