FWIW: When responding to questions relating to Foley's sexuality, [Foley's lawyer David] Roth admitted he could not speak to the issue of whether Mark Foley is gay, but wanted to make explicitly clear that Foley does not consider being gay a mental or emotional illness. Roth said Foley has no problem with the response made to the events surrounding the revelation of his e-mails and instant messages to pages, but that Foley "takes issue with anything that links his alcoholism and mental illness or emotional problems with being gay or not being gay," saying those are not related at all. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,217175,00.html He seems to be definitively cutting himself off from any excuse along those lines, and it's a pretty aggressive defense of gayness. It's kind of an interesting interview with his lawyer, not all that informative, but in terms of the tone, which sounds surprisingly up front and unsleazy to me. I also get a good vibe from his photo. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
