I Engaged In An Adult

I'm On The Board Of A National Group Called Faith In America. It's Designed To Fight Religious-based Bigotry.

For Me, Living In The Closet Corroded My Ability To Have An Honest, Open Relationship With My God, My Loved Ones, My Constituency And Myself.

More Than Anything Else I Recall Being, Or Trying Very Deliberately To Be, A Perfect Child. Not A Goody Two-shoes, But A Kid Who Did Good, Who Worked Hard And Met Every Expectation. I Strove To Achieve In The Excessive Way That Psychotherapists Tend To Regard With Concern.

I Realized That I Had Screwed Up My Life Living Different Parts Of My Life In Different Places. I Wasn't Whole. I Wasn't Integrated. I Wasn't A Complete Person. And After That, Came Out, Spent Some Time At A Psychiatric Hospital.

Because Of An Adulterous Affair I Shall Leave Office In November.
