As always, it's REPUBLICANS who are at the center of these "gay" scandals. But that's not surprising given the hideously homophobic and heterosexist platform of the American GOP. The only person in this video who demonstrated any courage whatsoever was the ex-governor of NJ. The others are just weak, pandering closet cases. While I place much of the blame on society for encouraging gays to stay in the closet, I also place responsibility on the shoulders of those who choose to live in silence.

Ha yeah - and Jim McGreevey (the brave one) is a Democrat!

that's like saying you're not really a bigot because you choose to be an asshole.

@justpostit:

Because religion has brought them shame.

I one time i have gone to a church and when i was younger i remember a priest bashing gays. I seen some of those who were in that same church crying because the church used the word of god against them because some were gay.

My mother and i left because she didnt wanted me to hear the anti-gay rant. Even today i am still confused as to why much of them are still ashamed.

I feel so afraid of a word that signifies hate among everyone.

These disgusting HYPOCRITES.

I don't care...I don't feel sorry for the lawmaker...he deserves what he gets. As for Cody, good job exposing him!

[colorconnection]

the real bastard in this video is that blackmailer. what a thieving scumbag. they won't even tell us his name, but it's ok for them to tell us all about his victim.

[AlvaroAndfriends]

I am gonna admit something thou:

Ted haggard was a bisexual man who loves his wife and kids. The reason he kept it for himself because he was ashamed and in order to not tell others of his shame or get caught he bashed gays on a wide church audience.

DAMN it get confusing writing this when you actually are surrounded with haters.

Sorry for my bad grammar i am afraid on commenting so much because i got people in my family looking at what i do.

Once again i am sorry

[justpostit]

in this day and age i dont understand why they dont just come out

[justpostit]

many people who are closeted or in church have wifes.. if he is out he probably meant ex.

[clubindiana4]

LOL......take a peek at the M4M section of craigslist.......tons of them have wives!

[chadpopstar]

I think it's quite odd that the man at the end of the video, who announced he is gay, talks about his WIFE. I didn't know gay men have wives.
