To be able to love and live in freedom means to be able to make godly decisions. To make godly decisions we have to surrender our egos and all the falsity and shame that goes with it. – James McGreevey
Civil union is less than marriage. Marriage is a sacred and valued institution and ought to be afforded equal protection. – James McGreevey
Inauthenticity is endemic in American politics today. The political backrooms where I spent much of my career were just as benighted as my personal life, equally crowded with shadowy strangers and compromises, truths I hoped to deny. I lived not in one closet but in many. – James McGreevey
