McGreevey said he would step down because his secret ? both his sexuality and his affair ? leaves the governor's office vulnerable.

I hope his resignation isn't because the affair was with another man instead of with a womanFizzingWhizzbees said:
But would he have resigned if he was straight and had an affair, or is it because he had an affair with another man?

I would say the same if he had an affair with a woman.

I agree. They must be going through some serious heartache right now.
It seems that when a married man comes out of the closet, everyone says how brave he is, how strong. But no one gives a thought about the wife who feels abandoned and betrayed. If the man had had an affair with a woman, everyone would condemn him and sympathise with the wife. This strikes me as a bit of a double standard.

As the daughter of a gay man all I have to say is don't be so quick to judge unless you truely understand the pressures. In this type of situation everyone in the family suffers. Everyone.
I don't condone his affair, or his apparent handling of the aftermath, but I also won't completely condem the man.

Come on people, a gay guy who fools around is just as much of a jerk as a straight guy. He's putting his family through hell and he knows it. He chose to do that.
