PLAINFIELD, New Jersey Two years after former New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey left office amid a gay sex scandal, he said he hopes his new tell-all book leads to public acceptance of his openly gay lifestyle.
“What I didn’t understand was that being gay, as with everything else, is a grace from God, and that by accepting that grace and by accepting that reality, by embracing that truth, I could authentically be who I was,” he said in an interview at the home he shares with his companion, Australian-born financier Mark O’Donnell.
