Former senator pens essay on marrying a man after wife passed away
Click here for reuse options!Former Pennsylvania Senator Harris Wofford has found love again, and is now marrying at 90, a man.
The ex-senator, whose seat was taken by virulently anti-gay Rick Santorum, explained that his wife of 48 years passed away in 1996 after losing her battle with leukemia at the age of 70.
“In the cold spring that followed, I felt grateful to be alive, lucky to have many friends and family members, and glad for a challenging assignment from President Clinton involving national service,” he wrote. “But I also wondered what it would be like living by myself for the rest of my life. I was sure I would never again feel the kind of love Clare and I shared.”

I think the age difference is the only odd thing most of us would see now, not their sexual identity.
