It's the staggering hypocrisy that gets up my nose. I don't give a rat's about a politician's sex life (as long as it's not illegal). But getting up and spraying about morals while secretly banging someone else's spouse, getting it on with working girls, sexually assaulting kids and all the rest of it, well that's pure bloody hypocrisy and that really, really ticks me off. I con't care if this bloke was a closeted gay. He has some splainin' to do to his family. But the hypocrisy angle is the point.
A person's sexuality or sexual preferences (as I said, provided it's not illegal) shouldn't be a mark of their character.
