FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) — A sheriff seeking the GOP nomination for an Arizona congressional seat was forced to confirm he is gay Saturday and resigned from presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's Arizona committee amid allegations of misconduct made by a man with whom he previously had a relationship.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu denied claims he tried to threaten the man, a Mexican immigrant and a former campaign volunteer, with deportation if their past relationship was made public. The man's allegations were first published Friday in the Phoenix New Times, an alternative weekly magazine.\

6. My understanding is that he was a volunteer

should the word "resign" be used? That seems to imply employment. If he was a volunteer didn't he just quit. Of course, Sarah P. was an employee of the State of Alaska and she just quit ... never mind
