I disagree with your wording. Omit "gay" and "man" from those and that's what is important.Rekaar. wrote:It isn't relevant that he's a gay (former) governor. It is relevant that he cheated on his wife, and that he did so with a man, and that he then hooked up said man with an undeserved job. All three demonstrate a lack of integrity especially when taken together, and that is most certainly relevant to anyone in public office.
Believing that doesn't make me stupid, nor bigoted, nor racist, nor anything else you'd like to slur my way because my view differs from yours.
Listing "and that he did so with a man" as one of the three reasons that he lacks integrity does, in fact, make you look bigoted.It isn't relevant that he's a gay (former) governor. It is relevant that he cheated on his wife,and that he did so with a man, and that he then hooked up saidman[person] with an undeserved job.
Is there something inherently more wrong with cheating on a spouse with a member of the same sex than a member of the opposite sex? What is it exactly that makes cheating on your spouse wrong? It was my opinion that it was the violation of the trust that was important and that the gender of who someone cheated with is pretty inconsequential, at least when viewed from an outside (of the marriage) perspective. (The gender of the cheatee may have more of an impact on the spouse due to hurting other feelings, but that is not relevant to the public) Granted, I think that none of that has anything to do with one's ability to be Governor and I don't think that he should step down for cheating on his spouse with anything.
The questionable behavior in this situation is giving the person with whom you are having an affair a high paying job that they are arguably unqualified for. That's not a good idea, particularly when the job is head of the state's Dept. of Homeland Security when that is such a high profile department right now.

Negative. There is zero chance of launching a political career in New Jersey as an "outted" gay male. Just isn't going to happen.Kylere wrote: That my friends is a lack of integrity. If you are gay, thats cool, but don't play a game of being straight.
Hell, it's not particularly easy regardless of the job but politics is a no-go.
As far as this goes, the more you knew him, the less of a surprise this was. Everyone was scratching their heads at his appointment to counter-terrorism. His first wife bolted to Canada or something after having his first child. His second wife was very involved with politics. I have a feeling this was a little more arranged than people seem to think. Something didn't jibe when he was my mayor or why he had two separate residences(one being across the street from where I lived currently, not terribly palatial).
My dads on his 3rd marriage...does that make him any less of a man or any less qualified to uphold his job? which he has worked his ass off to build up for almost 40 years and is still doing a great job of handling it?Adex_Xeda wrote:He made a commitment to his wife and created a family. All of them depended on him upholding the trust-bond of marriage.
He blew it.
I personally find that if he can't hold the trust of the most important contract in his life, how then can he hold the trust necessary to lead as governor?
At least it appears that he's taking responsiblity for his actions and is trying to fix the problem he created.
Kudos to him for that.
I hate this "drama" bullshit in the news, i really do. Noone gives a shit if a few poor black dudes get murdered in a gang fight, noone really gives a shit if the killer is guilty or innocent, or about there familys, fuck them.
But if two hot pregnant chicks get murdered, you get insane news coverage on there trials, and the whole fucking country has to have an opinion on weather there husbands are guilty or innocent without knowing the men.

Well, that's all well and good if folks who are gay are never categorized like abnormalties. And regardless of what you think (and I don't think you feel that way), people automatically assume some type of unquantifiable sin solely for that admission.Kylere wrote: Any group that allows itself to be sidelined is wrong.
And they're stupid, and supressed quite frankly. There's little that can steer folks under such inherent fears.

What do you mean attitudes like mine? I was merely saying its hard to come out and not have people talk behind your back or worse. I don't know how they would be better off with me not saying that even though its true (I've been told).Kylere wrote:Guess what Lynks, Gay people as a group would be a lot better off if it were not for attitudes like yours, gay people would be much happier if they all came out of the closet and none of them were pretending to be straight,Lynks wrote:Because everyone knows that everyone in the world loves gay people and that everyone gay person should be out of the closet.

Some people just can't handle it when someone starts to bash their character, or when people start calling their names. But I guess this comment and is putting them down for some odd reason you came up with.
Maybe he's saying that engaging in homosexual relations while he was in a commited heterosexual relationship demonstrates a lack of integrity. ie, he knew he was gay but instead of ending his sham marriage he decided to go fuck around with other guys. Maybe his family knew the whole time, if that's the case I don't really care. If not, then it's pretty shady.miir wrote:So you're saying homosexuals lack integrity?It is relevant that he cheated on his wife, and that he did so with a man, and that he then hooked up said man with an undeserved job. All three demonstrate a lack of integrity...

So its wrong to cheat on your wife with another women, buts its far worse to cheat on your wife with a man. Is that what you are saying?
Saying that it was with another man doesn't mean its a lack of integrety. Cheating on your spousse is though, even though he already counted that in the list of things.
Edit:
Ill make this simple.
You are saying the following:
Cheating on wife = lack of integrey
Cheating on wife with a man = lack of integrety
Giving that person a job = lack of integrety
Number 1 and 2 are the same thing and shouldn't be counted twice because it makes no difference if its with a man or a woman.

Nope, what I mean is that as long as you want to make excuses for people living double lives, it enables them to do so.Lynks wrote:What do you mean attitudes like mine?

I don't think the act itself is worse, but when you do that you're lying to your wife twice. 1 about sexual orientation, 2 cheating on her. I don't have anything against gay people, but I count it twice because it's two lies.
Just like Kylere said, double life. Not fair at all to do that to your family. I don't care if he stayed in the closet publicly so he could keep his job, but I think it is his familys business, and he should have told them so they could deal with it.

Yep and that could be the case, of course he did not admit all this out of the kindness of his lying cheating heart, he did it because he was being sued by someone he sexually harassed.Kelshara wrote:What if the wife knew about it and it was more or less an arranged marriage? Pure speculation but seen stranger things happen.
Thus it leads me to believe he tells the truth about very little

Both are bad, but, yes, with a man makes it worse by 10000000000th degree.Lynks wrote:So its wrong to cheat on your wife with another women, buts its far worse to cheat on your wife with a man. Is that what you are saying?
In your little pretty world of flowers and loveliness a man plowing another man in the ass seems as normal as a child picking a flower in the fields. But, to many of us normal folk, who.....I know this pains you....don't hate nor fear gays.....think it's vile and abnormal. But, hey.......to each his own.

"i dont hate nor fear black people...but i think there skin color is atrocious and due to there unique cultural past they are inferior to us pure bread white folk"
Why the fuck does it bother you conservative assholes, i dont like gay sex at all, its not for me and i have no desire to see or think about it, but if someone else wants to do it then more power to them, i wont interfere or judge them. I dont see how the hell americans can watch baseball for more then 15 seconds and remain to be entertained, but i dont think there abnormal or have a birth defect for it

I don’t personally have anything against conservatives. What people do behind closed doors is none of my business. I just wish they wouldn’t flaunt it. Some of them start acting conservative in public, and that’s just not something the rest of us normal people have to see. How am I supposed to explain conservativism to my 3 year old son when he sees old white guys walking around in broad daylight and asks me "Daddy, why are those men so socially regressive and diplomatically incompotent?".
I still remember the day I had to explain investment bankers to my daughter. Neither of us have fully recovered. God help us if a republican decides to get really flaming, and starts driving down our neighborhood streets with his dial tuned to daytime talk radio and his comb-over flapping in the wind, as if it's totally normal to be that way.
Keep it in the bedroom, for crissake.
And I'm sick of being told I'm a conservaphobe. Just because I can tell when someone is doing something unnatural doesn't make me a bigot. More people voted democrat than republican in the last election, so that makes them unnatural. There's just no way to dispute that. If God intended for us to be conservatives, he would have made history move in the opposite direction. God created Adam and Eve, not Dick and Bush. And that's another thing... they can't have children, because they don't believe in guiltless sex, and we all know your boys can't swim when they're thinking "oohhh.. this is dirty.. i shouldn't be doing this.."
Fucking connies. Not that I hate them, or am prejudiced in any way against them, of course! They're just an affront to God.

Well, one thing I do have to say about gays:
Every year, we have a Gay Pride Parade. While there are a lot of good activities that go on during the ween (AIDS fundraisers and such), the parade itself is disgusting. They flaunt every negative stereotype you can imagine. It would be the same as black people having a parade celebrating fried chicken and watermelon.
So they do a lot to help the average Joe in Montana maintain his image of the immoral fornicating faggot. All the gays I know are professional people, and they fucking hate the parade.
