In the 1980s, Congress censured a Democrat congressman from Massachusetts who had sex with a 17-year old male page. He admitted it, turned his back on the House when he was censured, vehemently claimed that the gay sex was nobody's business but his and the page, refused to resign, ran for reelection and won. I don't think we're losing the House solely over this.

By the way, a Republican congressman from Illinois who sexually abused an underage female page was censured at the same time. He profusely apologized, ran for reelection and lost. Kind of tells you the difference between Republicans and Democrats, doesn't it? Democrats are held to much lower standards.
