Maine Rep. Michael Michaud: ?Yes, I am gay? * - NY Daily News

A popular Maine Congressman publicly came out as gay Monday in a poignant article that was published in multiple newspapers in the state.

Democratic Rep. Michael Michaud, who is also running to be governor of the Pine Tree state, made the personal admission in a column published in the Portland Press Herald and the Bangor Daily News entitled, “Yes, I am gay. ‘But why should it matter?’”

Why should it matter?

 

[blackhawk]

I can only speak for myself but I don't care.

 

[Political Junky]

I don't think most Americans care.

Why do these people bring up who they want to fuck? Sex outside of the sex industry doesn't matter.

People shouldn't feel the need to hide a major part of who they are.

 

[whitehall]

If it didn't matter he would have announced that he was homosexual before he ran for congress. My guess is that a former boyfriend threatened to blow the whistle (pardon the pun) and he beat him to the punch.

 

[Mr. H.]

I used to feel fortunate, being a white middle-class conservative. These days, it's a goddamn curse.

He claims opponents had been making insinuations about it, most likely in an attempt to paint it as a negative. If that is the case then he didn't bring it up. He is only clearing the air.

Yeah, life in the 21st century must suck for you.

 

[Zander]

The only one making an issue of it is the gay person.....

I don't care.

Who freaking cares?

If gays would stop making their sexual preference an issue, it would stop being an issue.

It's a triple whammy.

Off to the tanning booth I go...

Why should it matter?

It shouldn't. The only thing that matters is whether he does a good job for his constituents, and the country.

 

[Pickle]

It's 2013. Who cares?

 

[Prag]

I don't care if he is a queer. The fact that he is a democrat is far worse.

 

[tinydancer]

Better fucking parties.
Come on now lets get real.

Why should it matter?

Because it will be blasted everywhere so he nipped it in the bud before anyone else blasted it.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Well, the house needs to make this law.

No one should be fired for who the sleep with. Jeez.

 

[The Rabbi]

It makes him unfit for office. He obviously has personality disorder issues. But he would hardly be the first pol who did.

Why not?
No, we dont need this law ENDA. Fortunately it looks to be going down in flames. Again.
