Quote:N.J. Governor Resigns, Admits He Is Gay
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - In a stunning declaration, Gov. James E. McGreevey announced his resignation Thursday and acknowledged that he had an extramarital affair with another man. \"My truth is that I am a gay American,\" he said.
\"Shamefully, I engaged in adult consensual affairs with another man, which violates my bonds of matrimony,\" the married father of two said. \"It was wrong, it was foolish, it was inexecusable.\"
The Democrat said his resignation would be effective Nov. 15.
McGreevey said he would step down because his secret - both his sexuality and his affair - leaves the governor's office vulnerable.
