Joe Solmonese, President of the Human Rights Campaign has issued a statement regarding the resignation of Rep. Mark Foley last week. Foley resigned in the wake of a scandal prompted by e-mails and instant message communication between Foley and underage boys.
“Gay or straight, Democrat or Republican, it is completely inexcusable for an adult to have this kind of communication with a minor," Solmonese said of the emails and chats released by ABC News. "Congressman Foley brought shame on himself and this Congress by his horrible behavior and complete lack of judgment. We strongly condemn his behavior.”
