Vito Fossella built a career as a staunch "family values" pol,
poli****ng his image in his predominantly Catholic district with a
string of anti-gay votes.
He even shuns his gay sister, Victoria Fossella, refusing to go to
family events if she and her partner attend, a source close to the
family said.
His double life is now exposed with the news he has a 3-year-old love
child with a divorced Air Force colonel, and critics are calling him a
hypocrite.
"Has the Catholic Church now sanctioned adultery?" asked John Adrian,
a 64-year-old gay activist on Staten Island.
"That just makes him that more hypocritical."
As congressman, Fossella voted to prohibit any funding for joint
adoptions by gay couples.
He has voted for the Marriage Protection Amendment, a federal
prohibition on gay marriage.
He also demanded housing funds be held back from San Francisco unless
it repealed its domestic partner****p law.
Victoria Fossella is openly gay and marched in Staten Island's gay
pride parade with her partner, according to an article published in
Gay City News.
She adopted twins who were delivered by her partner, according to the
story.
"She is known in the gay community and she is known in the gay
community as an out lesbian," Adrian said.
A man who answered the door yesterday at Victoria Fossella's house
refused to talk to a re****ter.
"Nobody in the gay community likes [Vito Fossella]," Adrian said.
"That speaks to his opposition to gay rights legislation."
