I just moved to Portland from San Francisco where our mayor was involved in numerous 'scandals': he had an affair with his best friend's wife, he went into rehab... and so forth. Gavin Newsom (SF Mayor) did not step down nor was there any real discussion that he should. Sam Adams should absolutely not step down- he has much to offer this city. The real scandal here is that we are taking a simple misstep and thinking it belies something about the mayoral office or the gay community. We should all move on and let Sam Adams do his job.
