Breaking Barriers: Jim McGreevey, America's First Openly Gay Governor

from Now I've Heard Everything · host Bill Thompson

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. In this 2006 interview McGreevey discusses his book The Confession.
