Brokeback Monsey?
Oh, this is so Jim McGreevy-like. Where is the originality? I wonder who this guy goes fishing with?

That's a nice pic of Pataki next to the disgraced Carben. Perhaps he would like it emailed to him.
this blog is as serious as you want it to be! though, In Mr Karben's defense - I dont recall him ever saying he was, indeed gay. I dont believe sexuality is as black and white as the world wants it to be (See Kinsey). In further defense, tabloids never exploit 'straight' sexual harrasment with headlines such as "Straight Sex Harrass Shocker"....

If he is making sexual advances towards guys, it’s because he’s gay, not because he’s straight. It doesn’t matter how he characterizes himself; the facts speak for themselves. There is nothing wrong with being gay, unless you are going to marry a woman. I suspect that had he not grown up Orthodox, he would have had a easier time admitting to himself the truth and not made the unfortunate decision to marry a woman.
As for Kinsey, much of his research has come over attack over the years. His views on homosexuality are far from the norm. The commonly accepted modern view is that for men, homosexuality is a genetic predisposition.
I cant speak for ALL gay men ... but I can certainly speak for myself. I have been gay my whole life. I NEVER chose it!! I never thought about options!!! I never actually wanted to be attracted to guys. I prayed and tried aversive conditioning and a billion other things to rid me of this "curse". I tried to date girls and feel physical. I tried to get thoughts of men out of my head. Ultimately I contemplated suicide. Then I "CHOSE" to stop the lying and just live my life. With my newfound honesty came peace of mind, productivity, and emotional fulfillment with my partner. My family has accepted him and our relationship. I have remained frum in all other aspects. I know that this story has been repteated by countless other guys that I am friends with through the gay and lesbian yeshiva alumni group that meets monthly in NYC. This story speaks for itself. Only G-d can judge whether I have committed sinful acts .... but I suspect he is happy that I have found a way to make the most of the blessed life he has given me.
