To the Editor:
“A Complex and Hidden Life Behind Ex-Representative’s Public Persona” (news article, Oct. 5) is a treatise on the nature of the closet, where pretense becomes a way of life.
The risk is that deception becomes normalized, artifice takes the place of reality, and the ability to discern legitimacy is compromised.
Mark Foley is a particularly extreme example, but the closet is a dangerous place — for everyone.
