Former New Jersey Gov. McGreevey Details Life as Closeted Gay Man in His New Book

This guy is exploiting his situation by writing a book about it and making money off of it. I hate this kind of crap. People like this guy and Ted Haggard get to have their cake and eat it too while the rest of us are stuck living our lives out of the closet and dealing with the every day crap that the various ignorant people in the world dish out. Part of the problem is that people aren't used to gay people yet. That is because a large part of us have not been out of the closet for years and years into history. Being gay is not as big a deal as everyone tries to make it out to be. Gay people live thier lives the same as straight ones. They go to grade school, high school, college. They love their parents. They try to do good in school and to be good citizens. They have jobs and make money. They go home to families and cook dinner and clean their houses. They pay taxes (some of which only benefit heterosexuals and are never used by homosexuals at all). They love their children and their partners and they strive to stay together for life even when it doesn't work. The problem is that the heterosexuals of the world don't see any of this. They see closeted men who ruin their families like McGreevey and Haggard. They see closeted women who choose to make their millions and come out of the closet after years of pseudo crushes on Tom Cruise like Rosie. If more of these public figures would just be themselves then maybe less of the world would be confused or jaded by their images and the damage they cause by being in the closet.

My Vent about Ousted Evangelist Ted Haggard

Rev. Ted Haggard confessed to his followers saying he was a deceiver and a liar who had given in to his dark side. This type of guy is why the rest of the world sees gay people as only interested in sex. There is a stereotype of homosexuals being a group of sex crazed party animals with no morals. If people who were actually gay like this "bone smoker" would just live their lives as the person they were then we may not have such an issue. This type of crap is the reason why people can't see gay relationships as just that, a "relationship". Because closeted bone heads like this guy end up creating some sort of huge issue when they are forced out of the closet by someone who has irrefutable evidence of them being an immoral bone smoking drug addict who pays for sex, the rest of us have to pay. The reason this guy fought so hard against gay marriage is because he couldn't imagine someone gay actually being in a relationship as opposed to just bending over for some prostitute massage therapist. In reality we homos actually do have relationships. We save ourselves for marriage (or some version of it), we live together, raise children, pay bills blah-blah-blah just like breeders do. I hope that all of the bone smokin prostitute chasers are forced out of the closet soon so that we can just live our lives and get on with it. I sure do hope I don't have to flip chanels to find his wife crying her mascara off later on this week.
