Great essay on the McGreevey issue

Here's a great essay on the McGreevey story, and I think that it should help add to the "how should straight people view" this dialog.

"Still, McGreevey could have handled this scandal the way so many other politicians do. He could have given a brief statement acknowledging that he had "caused pain" in his marriage and was resigning in the best interests of his family. He could have issued a short press release and disappeared. End of story.

Instead, he laid open his soul and his sexuality on camera. His speech was so personal and revealing, at one point I found myself wishing he would stop. It was as if he were giving us too much information, even for a society and media that crave such intimate details about our leaders and our celebrities.

Talk about reality TV."

McGreevey's laid bare his soul unlike anything you will see from a human being for a long, long time. If you're straight and that sounds like hyperbole, sit a gay or lesbian friend down and have them watch the entire speech and then ask them what they think.
