...didn't cause him to resign...


It's puzzling to me that he would resign over this.

Why not just say, "Yeah, I'm gay. Deal with it. If you can't deal with it, that just means you're a narrow minded bigot, and to hell with you."

What's the big deal? Maybe he would have lost the next election because the narrow minded bigots would have voted for someone else... but why would his sexuality affect his ability to govern the state?

On the same track, what if Bill Clinton had just said right from the beginning, "Yes, I got a blow job in the oval office. Don't you wish you'd been as lucky?"

That would have taken the wind out of a lot of sails, I think...
