The Foley scandal is NOT about Mark Foley being gay. It's about him being a pedophile; a man in power using his unique position to gain access to young, impressionable youths, and exploiting them for his sexual fantasies. It's about committing a crime and about his colleagues covering up for him in their lust for power.
Most pedophiles are heterosexual men, who have a warped desire for power and control over those who are vulnerable. Secrecy and shame support such behavior. It is so ironic that Foley was in charge of protecting missing and exploited children. He must be full of self-loathing and shame.
Ellen Goodman writes well about the scandal.
