McGreevey has suckered the gay community into supporting him.

This is pathetic. Don’t they realize how much damage he’s doing to their cause? Do they really want to embrace a “gay” governor who (ignoring the other rampant corruption in Jersey Democrat politics in general) hired his gay lover in a highly-paid position in national and state security for which he was utterly unqualified, in the middle of a war? If they had any sense, they’d be backing away and disavowing him as rapidly and vociferously as possible. But apparently sexual orientation conquers all. Even when it’s possibly fake.

[Update on Monday morning]

Reader Scott Ferguson complains in comments that Barney Frank and the other people cited in the NY Post article aren’t representative of the gay community.

Fair enough. Please provide me with someone who is. I’d be happy to link to criticisms of McGreevey from other prominent gay activists (or even some polling data), if someone can provide some.

Boy, what a time for Andrew Sullivan to be on vacation…
