BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY DENIES GAY RUMOURS
Britain’s Foreign Secretary, William Hague, has denied claims that he is having an affair with a younger male aide.
In remarkable statement issued yesterday, Hague (49) admitted that he had shared a hotel room with policy adviser 25-year-old Chris Myers but insisted that he is not and has never been in a relationship with another man.
“Any suggestion that [Chris Myers’] appointment was due to an improper relationship between us is utterly false, as is any suggestion that I have ever been involved in a relationship with any man,” said Hague.
“This speculation seems to stem from the fact that whilst campaigning before the election we occasionally shared twin hotel rooms. Neither of us would have done so if we had thought that it in any way meant or implied something else,” he added.
Despite the statement, Hague said that Myers will resign: “…as a result of the pressure on his family from the untrue and malicious allegations made about him, he does not wish to continue in his position.”
Questions had been asked about the appointment of Myers because of his limited experience and as Hague already has two other advisors. The two men have also been recently seen together in social situations.
Hague married his wife Ffion in 1997. He said in the statement that they have been struggling to start a family due to infertility issues, which had brought them closer together.
Myers and me. He is not with Chris Myers…The Hague is having an affair with the Minister of Correctional Affairs
William Hague. Why all the fuss? Is Britain now homophobic or what?
…… I don’t think the press is being homophobic towards anyone. They are just going for the juicer story – whether it be true or not – to get more papers sold. I think the question is whether or not it was ethical that a 25 year old political aide was hired in the first place (meaning he was not suited for the job so why else was he hired but for the sex, so the newspapers claim) and he already had two advisors so why did he need a third? As I said, it’s just the press trying to seek out a story that isn’t there. If the man says nothing happened, then nothing happened. We should believe him until evidence to the contrary can be found.
