kate's away message, earlier this evening: my governor is gay and all i got was this lame tshirt

so hey, mcgreevey is gay. huh. as much as everyone is all *gasp* about it, & the newscasters r calling it "stunning" and "surreal," ppl interviewed from his home town are like "yeah... and?" i just feel awful for his wife... standing there by his side as he announced his being a gay american... talk about heart wrenching. then they walked out together, holding hands. that's love kids. apparently the guy he had an affair with is about to press charges for sexual misconduct, & that's why he made this so called scandalous confession. ppl r talking about how this was diversion, & that he wouldn't have been elected if he were openly gay. well ha! in ur face conservatives. good for him for being true to himself. as for the resignation aspect, which seems to be getting overshadowed by the shock value of the announcement itself, i respect his decision. he is putting the state first, which is what he is paid to do. i do not believe that he should have to resign for coming out. def not. what he is resigning for, is because he believes that his full attention will not be able to be devoted to his job, & THAT is a noble thing to do, no matter how u slice it. yes, the guy had an affair, but oh hey, so did former us pres & best selling author bill clinton. mr clinton's behavior should by no means declare a precedent for such poor choices in judgement. mcgreevey is taking full responsibility for his actions. why chastise the guy?

what do u think? was his resignation necessary?
