An openly gay freeholder from Hudson County became the latest official to call on Gov. James E. McGreevey to leave office immediately, saying McGreevey appointed an unqualified person to serve as his homeland security adviser, a man who now alleges the governor sexually harassed him.
"Initially, I was quite surprised and I thought it took a lot of courage," Freeholder Ray Velazquez, a fellow Democrat, said Friday. "But after a few days, I realized it was just the governor using his sexuality as a shield to protect himself from his own misdeeds in office."
Velazquez, 40, a lawyer who lives with his male partner and an adopted son, said McGreevey's actions perpetuate stereotypes "that gays are devious and cannot be trusted." He said McGreevey "mishandled his office."
"This is not someone who fought his fears about coming out of the closet and decided the time was right," Velazquez said. "This is someone who found himself in a corner, and he sat down and strategized."
looks like McGreevey aint going to get away with it. Lets hope the Democrats and republicans in jersey can come togther to run him out of office
