"True information should be suppressed because it might hurt us politically"
hmmm
SL didn't say that. Actually rather the opposite: "keeping it quiet" requires that both political sides not raise it. That's passing up a chance at political advantage because "moral failings" of a sexual nature really shouldn't be a factor.
It really shouldn't be a requirement for office that a person be married. Strictly speaking its not, but it clearly biases the voters and on election night there they are, total stranger who has nothing to do with politics, hugging and kissing the winner. In a perfect world, someone better looking who is probably an escort, could be there instead.
