The Sex Scandal That's Not a Scandal at All The photos of Christopher Gallant, a Democratic congressional candidate from Long Island, were meant to be scandalous.
Instead, they've become a reminder that America is not as prudish or judgmental as we often pretend to be. Gallant's images, taken years ago, show the candidate in bondage gear posing with another man.
While these photos might have raised eyebrows 15 years ago, today they're hardly shocking. In fact, they're more likely to elicit a shrug than outrage.
