It's good he made public that fact but resigning shows weakness to me because of it. But I guess he kind of had to because there would be huge outlash by people and I would feel shame for the people who do because its his choice.

But why would the people who have backed you for years suddenly turn on you because your gay?

Do you people ever look into things? He had a homosexual affair while being married to his wife.

"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."

You missed the most important word in the report. AFFAIR. With a man.

Somebody told on him. Just like if he had an affair with a woman, his career would be at stake.

So will he get a divorce from his wife? Does he like his wife also? Otherwise, I don't understand how he could have kids? :confused:

There's a lot more to this than that he was gay and had an affair. He is currently under investigation, this happened before he made the announcement, for corruption in his office and appointments. He alledgedly has used public funds to pay off his blackmailing lover, keeping him on as a "non-typing" secretary.

On Thursday, McGreevey's office contacted the FBI about alleged extortion attempts by his former lover, Golan Cipel (search), sources told FOX News. The governor's office alleged that Cipel had said he would get rid of a threatened sexual harassment lawsuit for $5 million.

Cipel could not immediately be reached for comment.

Cipel, an Israeli poet, was once employed in the governor's office at salary of $110,000 a year. He was a subject of controversy because although he was designated a homeland security adviser, as a foreign citizen, he could not obtain a federal security clearance. McGreevey later reassigned him to a "special counsel" position, which had no specific duties.
Wow, that took me all of one minute to find and post. See what keeping up on current events gets you?
