  Gerry Studds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Studds and his long-time partner, Dean Hara, who have been together since 1991, applied for a marriage license on May 18 and were married in Boston on May 24, 2005, one week after same-sex marriages became legal in Massachusetts.
Studds is remembered chiefly for his role in the Congressional page sex scandal in 1983, when he and Representative Dan Crane were censured by the House of Representatives for separate sexual relationships with a minor – in Studds's case, a 1973 relationship with a 17-year-old male congressional page.
Later, at a press conference with the former page standing beside him, the two stated that what had happened between them was nobody's business but their own.

 FindLaw's Writ - Dean: Predicting Presidential Scandals
So it is with scandals: actions and activities must be noticed for a scandal to occur, and there must be an atmosphere intolerant of the action or activity for a scandal to occur.
By definition (according to The American Heritage Dictionary) a scandal is "an act or circumstance that brings about disgrace or offends the morality of the social community." Thus, there must be a community of disapproval for an action to be scandalous.
Presidential scandals often happen when the public is suddenly not as tolerant as it once was of a president's behavior - his conduct, or even a mindset that existed before he assumed office and was fully known to voters at that time.

But the would-be scandal surrounding the disappearance of a government intern and her relationship to Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif., has been a bit of a sleeper, roiling away in the background of official Washington for the last six weeks until the last week, when it finally started to move to center stage.
And as even his congressional colleagues are now apparently telling him, Condit has to start coming up with some answers -- or else this story looks like it's about to hit the big time.
