Quoted in the Chicago Tribune about McGreevey
The article from The Hartford Currant has been republished in the Chicago Tribune.
“What’s a straight spouse to do? — When gay spouse comes out”

Here’s how the article wraps up:
Abigail Garner’s father came out when she was 5. At age 32, Garner wrote Families Like Mine: Children of Gay Parents Tell It Like It Is.” She said the McGreeveys most likely will take their time to sort out their family.
“In my interviews with children with a gay parent and a straight parent, many report that their parents remain close friends even after they divorce,” Garner said. “I believe this has to do with the fact that their relationship was built on a solid foundation, such as core values or a shared vision for the future, which made sexual attraction a lower priority in their marriage.”
UPDATE: An edited version of the article also ran in today’s edition of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, but with the creepy headline: “McGreevey outing full of human fallout.”
