Gay sex trysts in 'bookstores and rest stops'

(New York-WABC, May 21, 2006) - It was the announcement that caught the attention of the nation. Jim McGreevey, Governor of New Jersey, husband, and father, telling the world he was gay and involved in an extra marital affair with a man. 21 months later, the former governor is going public again with a book titled "The Confession."

This is a tell-all book in every sense of the word. Former Governor Jim McGreevey doesn't appear to hold anything back. In the book, he writes about his life as a gay man in power and how he lied to everyone. The book comes out in September. The publisher just released 16-pages of excerpts.

"The truth is that I am a gay American," said former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey in August of 2004.

It was a personal truth aired in public. Now, McGreevey goes even further. In his new book, "The Confession", McGreevey speaks about meeting anonymous men at rest stops for sexual trysts. "As the years went on," McGreevey writes, "I became as avid a womanizer as anybody else on the New Jersey political scene, but my attraction was largely artificial. My sexual performance a triumph of mind over matter."

This is a tell-all book in every sense of the word. Former Governor Jim McGreevey doesn't appear to hold anything back. In the book, he writes about his life as a gay man in power and how he lied to everyone. The book comes out in September. The publisher released 16-pages of excerpts at a book expo in Washington D.C. Saturday. McGreevey made his first public appearance since the summer of 2004 at the expo.

McGreevey writes, "As glorious and meaningful as it would have been to have a loving and sound sexual relationship with another man, I knew I'd have to undo my happiness step by step as I began chasing my dream of a public career and the kind of 'acceptable' life that went with it. So instead, I settled for the detached anonymity of bookstores and rest stops. A compromise, but one that was wholly unfulfilling and morally unsatisfactory."

In the excerpts, McGreevey doesn't say when the encounters started. Nor does he mention his two marriages to women. He comes off as a man in great pain, in great conflict. "I knew I would have to lie for the rest of my life, and I knew I was capable of it," he writes. "The knowledge gave me a feeling of terrible power."

McGreevey will get $500,000 for writing the book and he's already a scheduled guest on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" for his first interview since the announcement. That interview will air next fall during Oprah Winfrey's new season right here on Channel 7.

Sadly, we must pray that Mrs. McGreevey has (1) had an HIV test and (2) that it came back negative.

Absolutely not ... Mary Cheney has class the degenerate gov cannot even imagine. I don't see Mary shoving her homosexuality in our face, do you? She doesn't define whom she is by her sexual proclivities, but this degenrate ex-gov is doing precisely that. This isn't about my estimate of homosexuality, the Bible calls the behavior an abomination and I agree. God loves the sinner but hates the sin ...

The above poster is correct that homosexual sex in public places is adamantly defended as part of the "gay" lifestyle.

The so-called "gay" press reports that it's called "life in the bushes," and those who engage in it called "bush queens." Homosexual web sites report that in major metro areas, local homosexual and anti-AIDS groups patrol city parks offering free condoms and "rule" books advising men of their rights and how to avoid arrest (to facilitate and enable the public sex routine).

The following report by the Detroit Free Press, March 24, 2000, reveals just how warped their worldview is:

“Investigators said gay sexual activity was common at…the adult bookstores raided Wednesday. …’The result is that male semen gets all around these rooms,’ endangering the public through possible exposure to infected bodily fluids, (police) said. …But Jeff Montgomery, executive director of the Triangle Foundation, a gay rights group, defended the bookstores and said the raids were politically motivated harassment of gays. ’The people ensnared by these dragnets are people who may not be finding any other meaningful way to make contact with men,’ Montgomery said.”

At least one homosexual web site advertises public sex locations, including not only rest areas and public parks, but restrooms in other places frequented by families and children such as in public libraries, universities, and government buildings.

Openly homosexual columnist Deb Price, who writes a weekly homosexual advocacy column on the supposedly "conservative" Detroit News editorial page, reported Feb. 26, 2001:

"Three Los Angeles studies also confirm a rise in risky sexual encounters, the Los Angeles Times reports. The Los Angeles County Health Services found half of HIV-positive men were having sex in PUBLIC PLACES without telling their sex partners of their status and often not using condoms."

Another interesting and disturbing aspect...media reports regarding police busts of homosexual activity in public parks and rest areas seem inevitably to include public school employees.

The threat the homosexual lifestyle poses to public health -- including HIV-positive men having anonymous multiple-partner sex in public parks, restrooms, and rest areas frequented by families and children -- is just one more in a long list of reasons society should stigmatize, discourage, and restrict such self-destructive and dangerous behavior, not facilitate or enable it.

The deal is that she doesn't flaunt it, and dad supports her. She gets to be a lesbian and dad gets to make nice with us conservatives. How much political traction would Cheney have if his daughter became a vocal gay activist and he responded with "I love my daughter and support her in her choice to live this way?"

On the Sopranos last night they dealt with one of their own who was a Gay Blade so to speak.

The cops found the guy in a motel room with a pool cue stuck where the Sun don't shine.

That loaded question sounds more like Edwards or Kerry than an actual conservative. I think I trust Dick Cheney far more than you after reading your post. In fact, I trust Mary Cheney more than you, now.

ALL of it is sick and disgusting, and unfortunately no surprise to anyone here.

Imagine the shock and outrage, not to mention arrests, that would ensue if heterosexuals acted this way! This double standard has got to be brought to light, and in a big way. Heterosexuals do not behave this way, and the homosexuals shouldn't either. It most certainly does threaten the public health. More than any of the warnings from the WHO on any other issue, does.

Ha! I have an ex-brother in law who used to drive the family from Minnesota to Floriduh a couple of times a year - they'd go nonstop (no motels) and he got this "set a record" thing in his head.....until he got himself some sort of urological disorder as a result of not peeing enough.

(No recollection as to how his wife and kids did!)
