I think it is great. You have no idea how many men are in this situation of being married and living a lie. Let his public stature and ability to come clean help some others...

Go go gay american, activate!

I would like to apologize on behalf of New Jersey for this man. However, I know many people who voted for him simply because he was ridiculously easy on the eyes. But now we're getting into that whole theory about the straight community sacrificing its hottest members to the gay community on top of a mountain every year...

Toby, he only came clean when threatened with exposure. I don't know how you'd want him as the poster child for anything. He lied to his family and constituents and did whatever he had to do to get elected. And the bookstores/reststop thing is just icing.

Listen, I'm not saying he was "right on" for the way he came out or what he did to his constituents and family. I'm saying, however, that the overarching theme to his reality (not the specifics) is a shockingly common and serious social disease plaguing the concept of "family" in our country. Perhaps you like the idea of a man going out to sex shops and putting his mouth up to a hole in a wall to receive a stranger then going home to kiss his children good night. I don't. I think it needs to be looked at, seriously.

If he is the man to do it, so be it. I champion that. I don't criticize.

How does having gay sex in a reststop or bookstore help keep your gayness secret. It doesn't! If he really wanted to be discreet he would have taken his lover/partner to a hotel or do the same thing that straight married people do when having an affair.
The real reason he is having sex with strangers at reststops and bookstores is because he is part of the perverted and my opinions disgusting gay lifestyle of screwing strangers at these gay hookup places.

He has four kids. Do they need to learn about this crap? God forbid that a father put his children's welfare before his own prurient interests.

"Perhaps you like the idea of a man going out to sex shops and putting his mouth up to a hole in a wall to receive a stranger then going home to kiss his children good night. I don't. I think it needs to be looked at, seriously."

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. If a straight person wrote that, they'd be a homophobe. Tobes, what about all the gay men that do that that don't have children or pretend to be straight? What's your argument here exactly? That some closeted guy who lived this ugly anonymous sex life and only came out when threatened with exposure is going to be some kind of leader for gay people? I'm not clear what you're saying.

How much do you think McGreevey will make from this? Is it worth it? I think Karol's right in that he has some deep need for negative attention and who he hurts be damned.

What is homophobe about that? I'm equal opportunity. I think it's gross for a totally straight guy to come home to his family, kiss his wife and kids at night drunk after going to third at the strip club too.

I'm saying exactly what I said. This guy isn't alone. Just the fact that he exists helps others miserable in the same situation. I never said he's any champion or hero, but he is some sort of twisted type of roll model no matter how he was forced into the situation.

Granted, maybe some think it's great that people live a lie to be in their conservative norm. Maybe they should continue. I know many men for who the closet fits just fine and whose wives will never know. McGreevy, no matter how he got there, came out with his family in tow.

He's no hero to gay culture. He's pretty disgusting for where he has been and what he has done. And, as you know, I can get on a moral high horse about this issue.

I just think the subject is valuable. I think he is valuable for taking the situation where he has.

Actually, McGreevey only had one kid each with his wives, not two.

It must be a gay bookstore thing. I go to Barnes & Noble once a week and the luckiest I've got with the women was free coffee.
