NEW YORK, May 22 (UPI) -- Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey in an upcoming memoir details his efforts to overcome his homosexuality and tells of anonymous sex at highway rest stops.
McGreevey resigned in 2004, announcing "I am a gay American," because he feared being outed by a lover he had placed in a government job. He is now separated from his wife, Dina, and living with a financial adviser, Mark O'Donnell, the New York Post reports.
The Star-Ledger of Newark printed parts of McGreevey's book, which is scheduled to be released in the fall, after obtaining them at a publishing convention.
McGreevey told the Post that he considered becoming a Roman Catholic priest to resolve his conflicts about his sexuality. In the book, he also talks about going to strip clubs and looking at Playboy in an effort to change his sexual orientation or to hide it.
In the book, he says that he finally decided he was homosexual after getting drunk during a political conference in Atlantic City in 1983.
"I knew I would have to lie for the rest of my life -- and I knew I was capable of it. The knowledge gave me a feeling of terrible power," he said.
