So, have you ever had the opportunity to run for a position in some form of government, local, regional whatever and decided you shouldn’t because of your involvement in the sex industry. SP, Client, etc, for fear of being outed at sometime?

No. But you need to remember that it’s the context which is important. Eg: Patrick Brown preached family values and catered to social conservatives. So the hypocrisy of his trolling bars, plying young women with alcohol to get a BJ is what damages him. Contrast that with Jack Layton, who was caught in a bust at a massage parlour. This was fairly well known, but it never blew up because Layton never campaigned as a “family values, cast out sinners” type politician. It’s the same reason Bill Clinton gets a pass while Newt Gingrich had no choice but to resign. It’s the hypocrisy more than the transgression, IMO.
