Civil union is less than marriage. Marriage is a sacred and valued institution and ought to be afforded equal protection. – James McGreevey
You know for many elected officials they all started in the same place. You know marriage is between a man and a woman, but they understand that they are moving inevitably, catching up to the American public. – James McGreevey
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. – James McGreevey
I kept a steel wall around my moral and sexual instincts – protecting them, I thought, from the threats of the real world. This gave me a tremendous advantage in politics, if not in my soul. The true me, my spiritual core, slipped further and further from reach. – James McGreevey
You never go into a marriage expecting to get divorced. You go into a marriage expecting its going to last forever, and you have a lot of ways you dream about the future. You have all these expectations, and then you have to adjust those expectations, and it can be a very unnerving, confusing time. – Jenna Fischer
