Katie Hill has declared that she is resigning from her office (though it's not clear when she is resigning).
She didn't have many options. She was sleeping with at least one of her staffers. I think it likely that she was sleeping with more than one, that her resignation is a way of heading off more dirt in the pipeline, so to speak. And I, for one, don't buy her claims about her being in an "abusive" marriage. I think both she and her husband have been actively shitting on each other since he filed for divorce, though I also think her husband should probably be in some legal trouble for the photos of her that are out there, that he obviously released to media sources.
That said, I also wonder if her situation might represent a moment when where maybe, just maybe, sexual proclivities might start to be separated from politics, from careers in general. Hill has openly stated she's bisexual and apparently was "throupling" with her husband and the female staffer for some period of time. I don't care (apart from it being a staffer), really. Why should anyone care? They're all adults. Hill should have had the sense to not sleep with an employee, but beyond that it's a "so what" moment for me.
Thoughts?
