In August 2004 the governor of New Jersey resigned. Big deal, you say. politicians resign from office all the time.
But Jim McGreevey’s resignation was unique, as he outed himself as the nation’s first openly gay governor:.
McGreevey resigned, however, not because of his sexuality, but because he had an affair with a male state employee.
Two years later McGreevey wrote a book called The Confession. That’s when I got a few minutes with him.
So here now, from 2006, Jim McGreevey.
Jim McGreevey. Will be 67 in August. He is executive director of the New Jersey Reentry Corporation.
