How about Jim McGreevey, governor of New Jersey, being in the closet? Closet cases always think no one knows when really, everyone around them knows. They tend to be generally out of sync with everyone else. There conversations are guarded at best. People feel the urge to speculate behind their backs, not that its kind, but that’s what happens. I think of my old boss, XXXXXX, and her "room mate". Every new employee would ask the inevitable question in the lunch room, "Is she gay?" It was awkward considering she played it off with the ambiguous terms, you felt like you shouldn't state the obvious. I think McGreevey's wife had to know, I mean come on. Apparently his lover was very important to him if he offered him the homeland security position in the wake of 9/11, right? Until the GLBT community is able to live freely and openly express themselves, the straight community will have to deal with the repercussions of the closet. Think what this McGreevey "scandal" is costing not only his family and co-workers, but the tax-payers of New Jersey.
