[1] Interview, BuzzFlash, 18 March 2002: "I had to make a decision about whether to publicly say I was gay or not, back in '94, after the Troopergate story -- about what the repercussions would be for my career. And I really didn't know, but I felt that I just had to. Since the issue had been raised, I had to answer it truthfully, which I did. And I actually didn't see any repercussions that I knew of until I deviated from the conservative party line in ideological terms."
